Description
The Bibliographical Society offers a limited number of Minor Grants for specific, immediate expenses associated with bibliographical research. Awards can support travel and reproductions needed for research, but not reproductions intended for publication. The scheme is administered through the Society’s Fellowships and Bursaries Committee and forms part of its wider support for bibliographical scholarship.
The Society supports research that advances understanding of book cultures from all parts of the world. Relevant subjects include book history, textual transmission, the making and use of manuscripts, publishing, printing, bookbinding, book ownership and book collecting. Its awards aim to initiate, encourage and disseminate innovative, high-quality, publishable research by individuals and groups, especially early career researchers.
