SUMMARY:The California Camera Club: Collective Visions in the Making of the American West
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Book Club of California. \nWith some 400 members\, the San Francisco-based California Camera Club was the largest photography network in the United States in the early twentieth century. In her book The California Camera Club\, Carolin Görgen recaptures the lost history of this community—both women and men—and their crucial contribution to shaping the cultural imagination of California and the American West as a photographic territory. \nAlthough the club played a decisive role in advancing the careers of Ansel Adams and other “big names” of American photography\, its most significant legacy lies in fostering collaborative outdoor practices. In telling the story of these largely unknown photographers\, a new perspective on American photography and its collective dimension is revealed. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Carolin Görgen\, author and Associate Professor of American Studies\, Sorbonne Université\, Paris. \nTo register\, click here.

SUMMARY:FABS Handpress Era: Natural Philosophy Images from Manuscript to Print
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by FABS \nThe FABS Handpress Era Zoom Group meets the second Monday of the month for presentations and discussion of printed materials before 1800. This month noted optics collector David DiLaura will speak on the transition from manuscript to print of illustrations dealing with geometry and natural philosophy\, using examples from his collection. All are welcome. \n“Images in natural philosophy books: From manuscripts to printing”\nImages were an essential aspect of geometry and natural philosophy books in the manuscript era. They were not ornament; for in many cases the text could not be understood without them. In the transition to printing\, technical images posed new problems for printers. Images varied from manuscript to manuscript. The details needed to be correct and\, in many cases\, could be judged only if the text was understood. A compositor\, however skillful\, was not enough. Woodcuts were necessary\, adding cost\, uncertainty\, and dependence on external craftsmen. In some cases\, the image tradition was degraded until the widespread use of copper plate etchings in the mid 16th century. \nFor a link and to be added to the mailing list for this group\, contact Jennifer Larson (info@fabsocieties.org)

SUMMARY:Manuscript Mondays: Singing Books [Music Manuscript Bindings]
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Manuscript Society \nGuest Presenter: Lilla Vekerdy\, Head of the Special Collections Department\, Smithsonian Institution Libraries\nHost: Gerald “Jay” Gaidmore\, The Manuscript Society\nA live presentation followed by a Q & A with presenter Lilla Vekerdy Title: How Can Book Bindings Sing?\nPresentation Description:\nHow Can Book Bindings Sing? will examine Renaissance books bound in fragments of medieval music manuscripts. These “singing bindings” are hundreds of years older than the printed text blocks inside them\, and the texts are on mathematics\, physics\, or astronomy and absolutely not on music. How is that possible?\nLilla Vekerdy\, Head & Curator of Special Collections at the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives\, will shed light on the peculiarities of these unique volumes\, held in the rare book collection of the Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology.\nBiography:\nLilla Vekerdy has been the head of Special Collections at the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives since 2008\, where she oversees rare materials in 16 library research centers\, and also serves as the curator of Physical Sciences Rare Books in The Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology. She earned Master’s degrees in Literature & Linguistics as well as in Library Sciences in Budapest\, Hungary in 1984\, and completed her doctoral coursework in Medieval and Renaissance History at Saint Louis University in St. Louis\, Missouri in 2005. Her research interest and publications are in the history of science and medicine\, as well as in rare book and manuscript studies\, and often cover the overlay of both realms. \nRegister here: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GGFhG_DcTvCQW6u4hSV1eg
