Stillwell Legacy SocietyOrganized in 1904 and incorporated in 1927, the Bibliographical Society of America (BSA) is the oldest scholarly society in North America dedicated to the study of books and manuscripts as physical objects. Member gifts have played an important role in advancing BSA’s scholarly mission over the past century. Contributions and legacy gifts from BSA members have provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to promote the study of books and manuscripts as textual artifacts and have furnished important financial support to early-career bibliographers and scholars.The Bibliographical Society of America has recently established a Legacy Society named after distinguished bibliographer Margaret Bingham Stillwell (1887–1984). BSA’s intent in founding the Margaret B. Stillwell Legacy Society was to recognize the long tradition of giving at BSA and to ensure a vibrant future for tomorrow’s bibliographical scholars.In the fall of 2019 the Society called upon its members to join the Stillwell Legacy Society as founding members. The Council is humbled and so very proud of the outpouring of support received: more than twenty people stepped forward with promised gifts.Founding members of the Margaret B. Stillwell Society are:Anonymous (1)Martin AntonettiR. Dyke Benjamin in honor of Dr. Barbara A. ShailorJohn BidwellG. Scott ClemonsBruce & Mary CrawfordElizabeth Denlinger in honor of Erin SchreinerJoan M. FriedmanJohn Neal HooverWallace KirsopJennifer Lowe and Gregory PassAndrew and Eleanore Ramsey NadellJustin G. SchillerCaroline F. Schimmel in honor of Miss StillwellErin Schreiner in honor of Joan Cullen PalattellaBarbara A. Shailor in memory of Marjorie G. WynneDaniel J. SliveKenneth SoehnerWilliam P. StonemanDavid J. SupinoJacqueline M. VosslerThe Society celebrates the Stillwell Society’s Founding Members for their generosity, and hopes their leadership inspires others to join them in making a similar legacy gift to BSA. These unrestricted gifts fortify the long-term stability and financial security of BSA, and allow the Society to continue the intergenerational promotion of bibliographical study and the expansion of our scholarly community.Please let us know by letter or email that you have remembered the Bibliographical Society of America’s Stillwell Legacy Fund in your estate plan, and we will be honored to recognize you as a member of the Margaret B. Stillwell Legacy Society. Your membership can be acknowledged in your name. You can also join the Stillwell Legacy Society in honor of—or in memory of—someone close to you. Should you wish, you may choose that your membership remain anonymous. There are no minimum financial requirements for joining—you may pledge any amount that inspires your philanthropy and brings you personal reward. All gifts help to further our mission.Members of the Margaret B. Stillwell Legacy Society will be acknowledged in this journal and on the BSA website, with their permission. Legacy Society members will also be invited to our annual donor recognition event, held each year during Bibliography Week.For more information about the Stillwell Legacy Society and remembering BSA in your estate plan, please contact President Barbara A. Shailor ([email protected]) or Executive Director Erin Schreiner ([email protected]; 212-452-2710). Information is also available on the Support BSA page on the Society’s website (https://bibsocamer.org/support-bsa/). You may also write to the BSA post office box at PO Box 1537, Lenox Hill Station, New York, NY 10021.2021 Annual Meeting & New Scholars ProgramAt its 18 April 2020 meeting the Council voted to host a virtual meeting on 29 January 2021 instead of the traditional in-person gathering in New York City. The presentations in the 2021 New Scholars Program will also be held virtually. This decision reflects the Council’s view that the safety of all those who attend the Annual Meeting is of the highest importance. At this time, large gatherings remain dangerous due to the persistence of and uncertainty surrounding COVID-19. The Society also recognizes that institutional funding for travel to the meeting may be limited, thus prohibiting travel to New York for 2021 Bibliography Week for many regular attendees. Without the ability to anticipate how that might change in an uncertain future, the Council and Executive Director share the view that holding a virtual meeting is the most prudent course of action.Describing the Material TextThanks to a collaborative effort by the Development Committee, the BSA has received a grant from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation to fund an exciting new initiative, “Describing the Material Text.” The Society recognizes that today’s broad community of librarians, collectors, students, and booksellers needs opportunities for flexible and accessible, introductory level training in the description of textual artifacts from cuneiform tablets to zines. Through “Describing the Material Text”, we will address this need by:— developing training workshops and accompanying pedagogical resources;— building a small traveling teaching collection;— redesigning the BibSite section of our website as an open source repository, not just for bibliographical datasets, but also for pedagogical resources like syllabi, worksheets, and other materials for instructors.Originally planned as a one-year project, the COVID-19 pandemic will delay the first phase of the initiative, which involves holding workshop design seminars with leading experts in global material textual cultures. While some of these planning seminars may be held virtually, the resulting workshops will be designed around gathering together with textual artifacts in hand.The Society is grateful to the Delmas Foundation for their support of this important initiative and looks forward to making it a reality.New Membership Level for Latin American BibliographersAt the 18 April 2020 meeting of the Society’s Council, a proposal from the Membership Working Group to establish a new dues level for bibliographers from Latin America was approved. Dues for members of this group will be $50 per year. This option is available to bibliographers 36 and older living in Latin America. While the Society continues to conduct its business primarily in English, we hope to foster a more global bibliographic community and offer more Spanish-language programs and digital content that meet this group’s needs.BSA Subtitling and Translation ProjectThe Bibliographical Society of America is committed to improving access to audio-visual recordings of past events available on our YouTube Channel. As of Spring 2020, the Society is working to provide edited English language closed captioning and other language subtitles, with a particular focus on Spanish to reach audiences throughout the Americas.The Society needs English speakers to edit automated transcriptions, and speakers of other languages to translate them in YouTube. Free one-year memberships will be awarded to all who submit complete translations of edited English transcripts of individual videos. Active members in 2020 will be automatically renewed through December 2021. Only one free membership per individual; however, anyone having completed a second translation may specify another individual to receive a gift membership.For more information on this project, including step-by-step guides in English and Spanish, please visit the Virtual Events page on the BSA website (https://bibsocamer.org/programs/virtual-events/).❧EventsSociety Events (In-Person)In the spring of 2020, the Society and indeed the entire world made swift changes to its programs and protocols in response to the COVID-19 crisis.

The Program Committee calls for proposals to invite collaborations between the Program 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 which 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 2021 are due on 15 October 2020. Please visit the Program Committee page on the BSA website to review application guidelines and the application form (https://bibsocamer.org/programs/bsa-programs/).❧ProgramsNew Scholars ProgramThe 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 normally takes place in New York City in late January. Per the announcement above, the 2021 meeting will be 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 2020 BSA New Scholars are Dr. Alison Fraser (University at Buffalo, the State University of New York), Dr. Elisa Tersigni (The Folger Shakespeare Library), and Matthew Wills, (University of San Diego, California). Applications to the 2021 New Scholars Program are due on 8 September 2020. International applicants are welcome to apply.
