The Society makes a number of major grants annually to those engaged in bibliographical research (for example, book history, textual transmission, publishing, printing, bookbinding, book-ownership and book-collecting). In 2021 a wide range of subjects were supported, including mathematical books in early modern Britain, the publishing history of Edith Wharton, and the periodical press in British India. A profile of one of our recent recipients, Dr Vaibhav Singh, can be found on our website, giving potential applicants a fuller sense of the kind of researchers and projects we support (www.bibsoc.org.uk/content/researcher-profile). ![]()
