Our Annual Meeting

At the BSA Annual Meeting, gather to celebrate and share bibliographical scholarship. At public lectures, workshops, and talks we talk about bibliographical practice and its relevance to research, pedagogy, scholarship, and public humanities discourse.

Held during Bibliography Week at the end of January each year, the Annual Meeting highlights cutting-edge work in the field of bibliographical studies with a keynote lecture by an established scholar in the field, along with a panel of presentations by emerging bibliographers as part of the New Scholars Program.

The BSA offers a blend of virtual, hybrid, and in-person events throughout Bibliography Week that are free and open to the public with registration. Consult the calendar to get a sense of what you can expect during Bibliography Week.
