| THE NEW SCHOLARS PROGRAM | ||
| The
Bibliographical Society of America each year invites
three scholars in the early stages of their careers to
present twenty-minute papers on their current,
unpublished research in the field of bibliography as
members of a panel at the annual meeting of the Society,
which takes place in New York City in late January. The
New Scholars Program seeks to promote the work of
scholars who are new to the field of bibliography,
broadly defined to include any research that deals with
the creation, production, publication, distribution,
reception, transmission, and subsequent history of texts
as material objects (print or manuscript). Papers of New
Scholars are published in the December issue of the Papers
of the Bibliographical Society of America as part of
the proceedings of the annual meeting. Junior (i.e., untenured) faculty and graduate students at the dissertation level are eligible, as are professional librarians, members of the book trade, and book collectors who are at the beginning of their careers. Candidates should submit a letter of application, an abstract of not more than 250 words, and a curriculum vitae. Graduate students should also submit a letter of recommendation from their dissertation director. For submissions to be considered for the following January, materials should be received by July 31. Please address and send applications (preferably via email) to: New Scholars
Program New Scholars selected for the panel receive a subvention of $600 toward the cost of attendance at the annual meeting and a complimentary one-year membership in the Bibliographical Society of America.
