You have arrived at the website for the annual meeting of the Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography (SoFCB), hosted at Rare Book School on the University of Virginia’s campus in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Your membership in the Society of Fellows entitles you to free attendance at our annual gathering of leading critical bibliography scholars. Come join us for lively conversations about the history of the book, followed by great meals and evenings of convivial fun. Many fabulous academic collaborations have been forged within the four walls of our annual meeting – join us!
Please fill out the registration form, linked below, by April 19 to confirm your attendance to the meeting’s various events and meals.
The SoFCB grew out of an innovative, deeply interdisciplinary fellowship run by Rare Book School devoted to reinvigorating and advancing the study of the book by bringing together and training promising early-career scholars. We have, from our outset, been supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
The annual meeting is an opportunity for fellows (friends!) to welcome a new cohort and collectively engage with questions particular to the study of material texts.
For questions about workshop sign-up, the meeting program, or your presentation (any academic aspect of the conference) contact the organizer, Devin Fitzgerald, devinfitz@gmail.com, cc’ing SoFCB Administrative Director Connor Smith, connor.smith@virginia.edu
