Description
The Bibliographical Society offers Conference Subventions to conference organizers to help students meet conference fees. The scheme supports participation in bibliographical conferences, rather than a separate research project or all conference expenses. Each subvention must benefit at least two students; the Society’s Fellowships and Bursaries programme describes this support as subsidizing postgraduate attendance.
Conferences must address one or more of the Society’s areas of interest, with a primary focus on the physical object as historical evidence. These include book history, textual transmission, the making and use of manuscripts, publishing, printing, bookbinding, book ownership and book collecting. The broader programme supports understanding of book cultures from all parts of the world.
