Resources for Book and Media History
For the formal study of book history in an increasingly digital world we are fortunate to have a selection of educational programs including the Rare Book School
at the University of Virginia, and the newer Rare Books and Special Collections program at the Palmer School of Library and Information Science at Long Island University, the Rare Books and Manuscripts Librarianship Specialization at the School of Library and Information Science at Indiana University Bloomington, the California Rare Book School at UCLA, the Watts Program for the History of the Book at Brown University, and the Center for the Study of Books and Media at Princeton. At the Corcoran College of Art + Design there is a seminar on "The History of the Western Book" and its online project, the Corcoran Book Historyblog. At the University of Saskatchewan there is an innovative program and website on The History and Future of the Book. Other programs include The Centre for the Study of the Book at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, the Center for Manuscript and Print Studies at the University of London, The Centre for the History of the Book at the University of Edinburgh, the Institut d'Histoire du Livre, at the Musée de l’Imprimerie de Lyon, France, and the Australian and New Zealand Rare Book Summer School in Melbourne. The Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing (SHARP) has over 1000 members in over 20 countries, including professors of literature, historians, librarians, publishing professionals, sociologists, bibliophiles, classicists, booksellers, art historians, reading instructors, and independent scholars. Its website provides an invaluable collection of links related to book history.
