The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America
Exploring the production, use, collection, and care of textual artifacts
The Society’s quarterly journal, The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America (PBSA), focuses on text objects across media, geographies, and periods. PBSA focuses on both traditional and emerging media and perspectives. We welcome studies that share new information, that situate bibliographical work in theoretical frameworks, or that forward the examination of lesser-known materials. PBSA publishes original articles, bibliographical notes, reflections on bibliographical work, reviews of books and electronic resources, and review essays.
PBSA is edited by Editor Sarah Werner (independent scholar) and Associate Editor Jonathan Senchyne (University of Wisconsin–Madison). Dylan Lewis serves as Managing Editor.

Advisory Board ↑
PBSA is guided by a board of experts to whom the editors turn for advice on submissions and peer review, as well as for input on other editorial matters. Advisory Board members are invited by the journal editors to serve a three-year term, with the option to serve a second term. The editors are in the process of building out a full board, but terms will be staggered so that there is always a mix of experienced and newer perspectives.
