Gants. The Editor is responsible for the editorial direction of the journal, which serves to fulfill the mission of the BSA to foster the study of the material text. The full call with application instructions and a job description can be found at https://bibsocamer.org/news/bsa-seeks-editor/.The Editor is appointed for an expected three-year term, with the option to renew. The expectation is that this position is part time, about ten hours weekly. Terms and conditions are to be negotiated, as is the physical location of the Editor or team.The Editor oversees publication of four issues of the PBSA each year and attends the annual BSA meetings in New York during Bibliography Week. The Editor of the PBSA works closely with the Managing/Reviews Editor and the production team at the University of Chicago Press, supervising the Managing/Reviews Editor.The next Editor of PBSA will also work with the Council and Publications Committee toward reaching the goals outlined for the journal in the Society’s Equity Action Plan (EAP). As outlined in the EAP, the BSA seeks to broaden PBSA’s coverage to include works that represent a wider array of textual artifacts from diverse authors in English and in other languages and to address issues of equity related to the composition and role of the Editorial Board. The Society welcomed applications from members of underrepresented groups who felt that their background and experience uniquely qualified them for this work in collaboration with the Council and Publications Committee. Applications were due on May 1, 2021.The BSA Events Committee Calls for ProposalsIn accordance with our identity as an international, interdisciplinary scholarly organization that fosters the study of books and other textual artifacts in traditional and emerging formats, the Bibliographical Society of America pursues its mission by hosting public programs and collaborating with related organizations to do so. The Events Committee calls for proposals to invite collaborations between the Events Committee, BSA members, and a broader bibliographical public. The BSA aims to sponsor a calendar of varied programs each year, which can include but are not limited to lectures, workshops, conference sessions, and receptions following events that are bibliographical in nature.In all BSA events, the material text—that is, the handwritten, printed, or other textual artifact, broadly conceived—as historical evidence, and/or the theory and practice of descriptive, historical, textual, and/or critical bibliography, should be a central concern to participants and organizers.Proposals for events taking place between January and April of 2022 are due 18 October 2021. Please visit the Events Committee page on the BSA website to review application guidelines and the application form (https://bibsocamer.org/programs/propose-an-event/).❧EventsSociety EventsIn light of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, the Events Committee has continued to coordinate virtual sessions offered to members and the general public.

Per the announcement above, the 2021 meeting was held virtually, and this includes New Scholars’ presentations. 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 textual artifacts (manuscript, print, or digital). Papers presented by the BSA New Scholars are submitted to the editor of the Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America (PBSA) for publication, subject to peer review, and are published in the December issue as part of the proceedings of the annual meeting. The 2021 BSA New Scholars are Mathieu D. S. Bouchard (Pantzer New Scholar), Dr. Sophia Brown (Malkin New Scholar), and Ryan Low (BSA New Scholar). Applications to the 2022 New Scholars Program will open in late summer of 2021.
