"The book at the crossroads of diversities" is the theme of this year's annual conference of the Bibliographical Society of Canada at Congress 2018, University of Regina, May 28-29, 2018.
Book historians, bibliographers, teachers, students, authors and publishers from all corners of Canada are invited to gather and explore the many facets of the book that have made it such an enduring, versatile and evolving conveyor of the diversities upon which Canadian culture has been built.
Topics:
aspects of the creation, publishing, dissemination and reception of texts; developing directions in the book arts as the book takes on new shapes, formats and meanings; representation of diversity in specific publications over time; the impact of the work of noted Prairie writers, publishers and bibliographical projects
