SUMMARY:FABS Handpress: John Bidwell on the 1795 English Translation of Paul et Virginie
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by FABS \nThe FABS Handpress Group will host a presentation by John Bidwell\, Curator Emeritus at the Morgan Library & Museum. Bernardin de Saint-Pierre’s Paul et Virginie was a bestseller during the Romantic era. One of its bibliographers counted 269 editions published between 1789 and 1962. Bidwell will describe the 1795 first edition of the English translation by Helen Maria Williams\, a book that has stumped the bibliographers because it appeared without an imprint. The paper\, type\, illustrations\, and bindings – even the flyleaves in his copy – provide evidence for attributing it to the English Press in Paris\, operated by the notorious radical John Hurford Stone. Here\, a close scrutiny of handpress books can explain why Stone concealed his name and how he exported books to England even though it was at war with France. \nAfter Q&A\, we’ll have open mic for New Acquisitions (broadly construed)! \n(September 9; contact Jennifer Larson at info@fabsocieties.org) \n

SUMMARY:Manuscript Mondays: Artist Paul Kane – From Field Notes to Book
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Manuscript Society \nFrom Field Notes to Book:\nEditing for Publication Three Stages of Artist Paul Kane’s Western Travel Narrative\, 1845–1848\nManuscript Mondays – Free – Live  Webinar\nSpecial Date – Monday\, September 9\, 2024\n8:00 PM Eastern\nPresenter: Dr. Ian S. MacLaren\nArtist Paul Kane (1810–1871) traveled by canoe and boat from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Ocean in the mid-1840s. His aim was to sketch Native Americans in Wisconsin and Oregon territories and in lands controlled by the Hudson’s Bay Company. An uneducated artist\, Kane wrote in inimitable spelling both field notes and portrait and landscape logs. \nTranscribing and publishing them for the first time\, Ian MacLaren has chosen also to present with them both his transcription of a draft manuscript for Kane’s eventual book\, written in two hands\, neither of them the artist’s\, and a facsimile of the first edition of Wanderings of an Artist among the Indians of North America\, which Longmans published in London in February 1859. MacLaren will discuss how he reached decisions about the presentation of these three stages of the Kane narrative in his recently released four-volume work\, Paul Kane’s Travels in Indigenous North America: Writings and Art\, Life and Times (2024). Plus a Q&A. \nPresenter: Ian S. MacLaren\nIan S. MacLaren taught in the History and Classics\, and English and Film Studies departments at the University of Alberta for more than thirty years. His recently published four-volume book Paul Kane’s Travels in Indigenous North America: Writings and Art\, Life and Times aims to contribute to ethno-history\, book history\, fur-trade history\, and art history. Recent publications by MacLaren pertain to Kane and to Captain Cook’s third voyage to the Pacific Ocean. Other areas of scholarly interest include: The histories of national parks\, Arctic exploration\, and the early literature of North America in English. \nTo Register\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/9317214157507/WN_fB-_M1jeQYKPsEbHZIaPsw \n[You will receive an email confirming registration]

SUMMARY:Nora Davies on Crymes and Rhymes: The Broadside Ballad and the Celebrity Criminal
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Caxton Club \nWhen/Where: FRI 9/13/2024 12:00PM CT/1:00PM ET. Zoom presentation is free and open to all. Preregistration required via website. ULCC live attendance–Zoom presentation and optional lunch ($35) following. Reservations required by 12PM CT 9/11/24. Seating limit is 24. \nWould you like to attend? Click here to register.\n \nEVENT DETAILS:\n \nSeptember Midday Program \n\n \nWhat better way to spend Friday the 13th than in the company of printers\, prevaricators\, peddlers\, and penny broadsides? \nIn early modern London\, where newspapers were a sevenpence luxury\, broadsides were the affordable single-sheet news source for the masses. They specialized in singing the praises of criminals who could capture the public’s imagination through a bold prison break\, a brazen break-in\, a terrifying and deadly encounter\, and a tearful repentance in the shadow of the gallows. The modern newsroom adage that if it bleeds it leads draws its inspiration from these tales … as did (and do) a host of novels and detective stories. \nJoin us as Nora Davies recounts the story in a generously illustrated program. Nora will be coming to us from Smith College in Northampton\, Massachusetts. As a digital asset specialist Davies provides instruction on copyright\, cataloging\, image research\, editing\, and more. Worry not\, Chicagoans\, Nora’s Midwest bona fides include an English degree from nearby Beloit College and an MLIS from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. \nCozy up to Zoom and be transported to the crowded\, noisy streets of London. But don’t worry about pickpockets or cutpurses … we’ll keep your reservation safe! \nLive attendance and optional lunch \nView Zoom program on eighth floor\, Steel Room\, Union League Club. Presentation begins at 12:00 PM CT. Optional lunch immediately following in the fourth floor Rendezvous. $35 includes non-alcoholic beverage\, a cup of soup\, and your choice of sandwich\, salad\, or hot entree\, tax\, and tip. \nZoom presentation is free and open to all. \nZoom begins at 12:00PM CT/1:00 PM ET. Preregistration required via website.

SUMMARY:Spencer Stuart: "Members Needed: Sustainable Futures for Bibliophilic Societies.”
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Baltimore Bibliophiles \nPlease join us on Tuesday\, September 17\, at 7:00 pm  EDT/4:00pm EDT (via ZOOM) when Collections Advisor Spencer W. Stuart shares insights and common challenges from recent organizational audits for Bibliophilic societies as well as other cultural organizations worldwide. \nThe COVID Pandemic was an extremely disruptive period for non-profit cultural organizations. Some pivoted to online offerings and expanded their audiences\, while others recoiled due to a pre-COVID lack of long-term planning. Emerging from this\, many Societies still have major issues to address in order to attract new members\, maintain their financial commitment and foster their volunteer support. \nThrough this talk\, we will explore what is currently required to carry out this process and the potential outcomes it can generate for an organization seeking to both maintain current membership and grow long-term. \nThis program is not being recorded! So come prepared to listen and learn – and take copious notes! \nTo receive a link please contact \nBinnie Syril Braunstein\nThe Baltimore Bibliophiles\nBSBGC@aol.com\n443-519-6366\nwww.BaltimoreBibliophiles.org

SUMMARY:Brendan Dooley on Renaissance Transmission of News
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \n\n\nJoin the Grolier Club for this live webcast via Zoom. Brendan Dooley\, professor of Renaissance Studies\, College of Arts\, University College Cork\, will lecture on one of the Renaissance’s great forgotten inventions: regular public transmission of written news. Although exchanging information of general interest regarding daily occurrences has been a feature of European societies for as long as historical memory extends\, an influential Renaissance novelty was the creation of specific writing genres (manuscript and print) for telling about the news each week. Drivers of this development\, apart from sheer curiosity\, included state officials seeking opportunities\, merchants seeking markets\, and writers seeking jobs. Traditional settings for news conversations\, in homes\, at court\, and in public squares\, were thus supplied with topics originating not only from local occurrences but from far away\, not only from books\, pamphlets\, and private letters but also from periodical news sheets covering major events of the day\, with significant effects on widespread ways of thinking and behaving. Dooley’s examples will show how Renaissance news evolved from manuscript newsletters into printed newspapers\, with long-term consequences still keenly felt. \nThis program will be live webcast and registrants will receive a Zoom link two days before the event. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-brendan-dooley-on-renaissance-transmission-of-news-tickets-999611122777?aff=ebemoffollowpublishemail&ref=eemail&utm_campaign=following_published_event&utm_content=follow_notification&utm_medium=email&utm_source=eventbrite \nIf you are a Grolier Club member\, please register yourself and your guests via the Club website. Do not register via Eventbrite. \nSupport \nWe appreciate your interest in the Grolier Club’s programming on the art and history of the book. For more than 130 years we have offered our exhibitions and lectures to the public\, free of charge. If you have enjoyed these offerings\, and would like to support that tradition\, and help ensure that it continues\, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Grolier Club.

SUMMARY:In Person: Book Club of Washington 2024 Emory Award
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of Washington \nFABS members are invited to join the BCW for this in-person event Sept 22\, 2:00pm PDT  \nRSVP required. \nTanya Patton\, Elise Severe\, and Deb Fortner from Dayton\, Washington are receiving the 2024 Emory Award for their leadership in saving the Dayton Memorial Library in Columbia County\, Washington. Without their actions\, Dayton could have become the first library in the US to be shut down because of book challenges. \nLast year’s fight was the second time Tanya Patton\, former chair of the Dayton Library Board\, has helped save the library. Patton also led the 2005 campaign to create the rural library district that restructured the library’s funding model so it could remain open and continue serving the community. \nDeb Fortner is a wheat-farmer in Columbia County who worked alongside Patton to save the Dayton Library and build community support for the library in the face of 2023’s dissolution challenge. \nElise Severe founded Neighbors United for Progress\, the political action organization that sued to stop the library dissolution measure from going on the November ballot. Severe was also one of the two named plaintiffs in the lawsuit. \nThe group attempting to shut down the library chose to pursue dissolution because library staff refused to remove over one hundred books relating to gender\, sexuality\, and race from the children’s and young adult collections. Columbia County Superior Court Commissioner Julie Karl explained the stakes in her ruling against the dissolution ballot measure. “The city and county would lose a valuable resource that would disproportionately affect the poorest members of this community that depend on this library\,” she said. \nThe American Library Association’s Office of Intellectual Freedom’s 2023 report documented 1\,247 demands to censor library books\, materials\, and resources\, with public libraries coming under greater attack than ever before. The number of book titles targeted at public libraries increased by 92% over the previous year\, and book challenges at public libraries now account for about 46% of all book challenges. Finally\, the ALA’s 2023 report documented the highest number of challenged book titles they have ever recorded. Titles representing the voices of LGBTQ and BIPOC individuals made up 47% of those censorship attempts. \nPreserving public access to books has rarely been more urgent. In the face of historic levels of attempted censorship\, more communities across the country – and across Washington state — will need to stand up and fight for books and for libraries. By presenting this award\, The Book Club of Washington affirms that it stands with them.
