*2014 Fellowship Program Announcement*
Application Deadline: December 15, 2013****

The BSA invites applications for its seventh annual Katharine Pantzer
Senior Fellowship in Bibliography and the British Book Trades as well as
its annual short-term fellowship program, all of which support
bibliographical inquiry and research in the history of the book trades and
in publishing history. Eligible topics may concentrate on books and
documents in any field, but should focus on the book or manuscript (the
physical object) as historical evidence. Such topics may include
establishing a text or studying the history of book production,
publication, distribution, collecting, or reading. Thanks to the generosity
of donors, certain special fellowships support research in particular areas
of study. Applicants should therefore read the fellowship titles and
guidelines here to determine project eligibility and fit. *Please note:
these fellowships do not support enumerative bibliography* (i.e. the
preparation of lists). Individuals who have not received support in the
previous five years will be given preference. *All fellowships require a
project report within one year of receipt of the award, and a copy of any
subsequent publications resulting from the project, to be sent to the BSA.**
