The Pantzer New Scholar Award honors Katherine F. Pantzer (1930-2005), best known for her work on the revised Short-Title Catalogue of Books Printed in England, Scotland, and Ireland, and for English Books Printed Abroad, 1475-1640. The BSA New Scholars Program is designed to uplift work by individuals who are new to bibliography. The program strives to welcome researchers who have not previously published, lectured, or taught on bibliographical subjects by nurturing and promoting their scholarship. Booksellers, librarians, curators, collectors, junior (i.e., untenured) academics, graduate students at the dissertation level, and independent scholars are all welcome to apply. BSA membership is not required for New Scholars Program applicants. Preceding the BSA's Annual Meeting, each New Scholar presents a fifteen-minute talk that is based on their submitted proposal. Applicants must provide the name and email address for a recommender who will provide a confidential letter of recommendation. The recommender should be an advisor or colleague who is familiar with the project and who can speak to how the project will make a contribution to the field of bibliography. Doctoral candidates should request a recommendation from their dissertation director. Please visit the award's website or contact the Bibliographical Society of America for more information.
