SUMMARY:Tim Gress on Collector Burton Emmett and American Book Design
DESCRIPTION:During the First World War the American Red Cross mobilized fundraising with the slogan “All you need is a heart and a dollar.” It was so successful that it was quickly displayed all over the country on billboards\, posters\, in newspapers\, and more. \nThat catchphrase was the inspiration of Burton Emmett — a former book agent\, newspaper editor\, reporter\, and theatrical press agent who had become an advertising executive. \nBut his heart lay in collecting. Art and books. Preferably beautifully designed books. \nSome of the Emmett collection will be on display as part of an exhibition called The Touch of Art: American Book Design 1880–1930 at the University of North Carolina’s Wilson Library\, but you won’t need to book a trip to Chapel Hill to catch a look at it. Instead\, you’ll enjoy a guided tour\, with special background about Emmett. All from Tim Gress\, who is curating the exhibition. \nGress is a PhD student and Graduate Teaching Fellow whose research focuses in part on the history of the book. He also serves as a graduate assistant in the Rare Book Collection at the Wilson. \nIf you like stories of collecting\, great book design\, and hearing the inside scoop about a carefully curated exhibition\, then you’ll want to register. No dollar required. It’s free! \nClick here to register. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Declaration of Independence Printings
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nOverview\n\n\n\n\nwith Michael Auslin\, John Bidwell\, Dan Lipcan\, and Ted Widmer \n\n\n\n\nThe 250th American birthday year’s scrutiny of the Declaration of Independence’s evolution\, from rough drafts to widely disseminated and strategically edited printings\, is shedding light on the document’s original producers and consumers\, shifting interpretations\, and enduring influence and enigmas. A panel of scholars will present their new Declaration findings: Michael Auslin (Stanford University) and Grolier members John Bidwell (Morgan Library & Museum curator emeritus)\, Dan Lipcan (director of Peabody Essex Museum’s Phillips Library) and Ted Widmer (CUNY). Topics will include Thomas Jefferson’s aggressive capitalizations and underlinings; the risky activism of 18th-century printers Ezekiel Russell (Salem\, Mass.)\, Mary Katharine Goddard (Baltimore)\, and John Dunlap (Philadelphia); and 19th- through 21st-century illustrated reinterpretations of the Declaration. The speakers’ books will be available for sale and signing at the event. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-panel-declaration-of-independence-printings-tickets-1993624369155?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \nIf you are a Grolier Club member\, please register yourself and your guests via the Club website.

SUMMARY:The Publications of the Hroswitha Club
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nOverview\n\n\n\n\nwith Stacie Vos \n\n\n\n\nThis talk will focus on the two publications of the Hroswitha Club–Hroswitha of Gandersheim: Her Life\, Times and Works\, and a Comprehensive Bibliography and Notes on Woman Printers in Colonial America and the United States–in order to argue that the HC was both more inclusive and more focused in their interests than the record suggests. While they had a limited membership of relatively elite women\, their research into medieval women’s networks through the figure of Hroswitha and into the laboring woman printer of modern America belies an effort to broaden the scope of women included in histories of print\, literature\, and the book. Each member of the club became a woman of letters in this process. And while the club claimed to merely “love books\,” these publications\, in addition to the club’s library and events held\, reveal specific commitments to the woman writer of medieval Europe and the woman printer of modern America. Loving books\, in other words\, was its own specialization for the Hroswitha Club. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-the-publications-of-the-hroswitha-club-tickets-1993625411272?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \nIf you are a Grolier Club member\, please register yourself and your guests via the Club website.

SUMMARY:Charles W. Chesnutt: Symposium (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Western Reserve Historical Society\, The Northern Ohio Bibliophilic Society\, The Rowfant Club\, Charles W. Chesnutt Digital Archive\, The Cuyahoga County Public Library\, and the Cleveland Public Library. \nThe Second Charles W. Chesnutt Symposium [In Person Only] \nSaturday\, September 26\, 2026  \n8:00 AM through 5:30 PM \nAt the Western Reserve Historical Society\, Cleveland\, Ohio  \nRegistration Fee: $80.00 for standard participants and $50.00 for full time students \nFully Refundable Date: August 15\, 2026 \nhttps://www.chesnutt2026.com or www.rowfant.org \nCharles W. Chesnutt (1858-1932) was arguably the most important African American author (fiction\, essays and advocacy) to ply his trade in America between Reconstruction and the Harlem Renaissance; he was certainly the most important author to come from Ohio during this period\, and his influence was clearly national. It is also important to note that several of his novels were not published until 50 years after his death\, largely because they were considered too provocative for their time.  \nFeaturing presentations by: \nStephanie Browner\, PhD: The New School  \nTess Chakkalakal\, PhD: Bowdoin College  \nCharles Duncan\, PhD: William Peace University  \nWilliam Hardwig\, PhD: University of Tennessee Knoxville  \nKenneth M. Price\, PhD: University of Nebraska Lincoln  \nRegennia Williams\, PhD: Western Reserve Historical Society Cleveland  \nThere will also be opportunities to see the Rowfant Club of Cleveland\, take a white-glove tour of the Chesnutt archives\, and interact with the Cleveland community. Continental breakfast and a full buffet luncheon will be served; local accommodation will be available near the Case Western Reserve University campus\, including the Glidden House. \nCosponsors: The Western Reserve Historical Society\, The Northern Ohio Bibliophilic Society\, Charles W. Chesnutt Digital Archive\, The Cuyahoga County Public Library\, and the Cleveland Public Library. \nhttps://chesnuttarchive.org/ \nQuestions? email cuw123@aol.com  \n
