Our Annual Meeting
At the BSA Annual Meeting, gather to celebrate and share bibliographical scholarship. At public lectures, workshops, and talks we talk about bibliographical practice and its relevance to research, pedagogy, scholarship, and public humanities discourse.
Held during Bibliography Week at the end of January each year, the Annual Meeting highlights cutting-edge work in the field of bibliographical studies with a keynote lecture by an established scholar in the field, along with a panel of presentations by emerging bibliographers as part of the New Scholars Program.
The BSA offers a blend of virtual, hybrid, and in-person events throughout Bibliography Week that are free and open to the public with registration. Consult last year’s calendar to get a sense of what you can expect during Bibliography Week.

Registration
Registration for the BSA Annual Meeting and all other Bibliography Week events is required; most events are free to attend. Please visit the Events Calendar for registration links, which are usually posted in November for January events.
Plan Your Trip
Travel to New York in late January is affordable and easy! Visit our local arrangements page for recommendations to accommodate most budgets. Because the week’s activities are planned by several institutions and hotel rates are at their lowest point of the year, the Society does not reserve a block of rooms at one hotel.
