Call for Papers
Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada (PBSC)

Since 1962, PBSC has published important historical studies on the
sociality and materiality of texts — including authorship, printing,
binding, publishing, piracy, reading, education, and the book trade — in
Canada and the world. A bilingual scholarly community has coalesced
around PBSC, uniting literary critics, historians, librarians,
booksellers, small-press printers, and students of English, French,
history, sociology, library science, information science, bibliography,
public policy, and other disciplines.

PBSC is seeking essays for several upcoming special issues — as well as
non-theme-related papers — from scholars of any nationality on any
aspect of book studies or book culture. Upcoming issues include the
following:

• Regular issue (double issue for Spring/Fall 2018)
• Festschrift for William F. E. Morley and Francess Halpenny (Spring
2019)
• LGBTQ+ (Fall 2019)
• The Ryerson Press: 50 Years Since the Sale (Fall 2020)

Specific calls for papers for each special issue will follow in due
course, but please start planning your submissions now.

Articles in either English or French may be submitted via the PBSC
online journal management system as .doc or .docx files. The submission
must be anonymized, include an abstract of no more than 200 words, and
be accompanied by a short biographical statement. Articles should be no
more than 9000 words. Shorter articles of up to 5000 words, which must
follow the same academic standards as longer articles, are also
accepted. Works longer than 9000 words should be queried first.

In matters of spelling and style, PBSC follows the Canadian Oxford
Dictionary and the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition (2010)
(footnotes).
