Update for September 2009
Below you will find details of my final issue as editor, which went to press today after an improbable series of delays (technical, medical, administrative… One of the delays was waiting, and waiting, for a couple of photos of a dust wrapper belonging to Friendship’s Offering for 1830 held at the Bodleian Library. When you see the images you will, I hope, think it was worth the wait: an extra month!)
Since my last update a great deal has happened. There has been a very successful conference in Brisbane, at which there were a few changes to the office-bearers of the BSANZ. The updated list of officers are:
President: John Arnold, National Centre for Australian Studies, Monash University, Caulfield 3145.
Immediate Past President: Shef Rogers, Department of English, University of Otago, Dunedin 9054.
Vice-President: Donald Kerr, Special Collections Librarian, University of Otago, Dunedin 9054.
Secretary: Chris Tiffin, English, Media Studies and Art History, University of Queensland, St Lucia 4072.
Treasurer: Pam Pryde, Curator, Special Collections, Baillieu Library, University of Melbourne, VIC 3010.
Editor: Patrick Spedding, Department of English, ECPS, Monash University, VIC 3800.
There have also been significant changes to the structure and mission of the Centre for the Book (CftB) at Monash. The CftB has supported the publication of S&P these last three years, has co-sponsored the Rare Book School, the Melbourne Bibliographical Circle seminars and a wide range of other events and activities. As a result of the restructuring, the CftB has a new Director (Simone Murray) and new affiliated Staff (such as Rebecca-Anne C. Do Rozario). Simone and Rebecca are both members of the BSANZ (they both presented papers at the Brisbane conference) and will be familiar to some members.
Although the changes to the CftB resulted in a hiatus in activity, especially of the Melbourne Bibliographical Circle events, this will only be temporary. It is expected that the restructured centre will soon be active in organising an even wider range of events. Stay tuned for more.
