2 FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

y work is not designed merely to meet the taste of the immediate public,” “Mexplained the Greek historian Thucydides, “but is intended as a possession forever.” Familiar as he was with the ravages of war, the destruction wrought by famine, fire, and flood, and the devastation caused by human ignorance, corruption, and neglect, Thucydides’ hope seems especially courageous. Yet, his History of the Peloponnesian War would become a prized possession of Cicero and Machiavelli, of Hobbes and Burke, of Schlegel and Macaulay. Closer to home, Abraham Lincoln used a famous portion of the text, Pericles’ funeral oration, as a model for his own Gettysburg Address.

With Thucydides’ courageous hope in mind, I am delighted to share with you our latest annual report delineating not only the activities and achievements of our faculty, students, and staff, but also the generosity of our benefactors. Throughout this colorful conspectus, the reader will see evidence of our ongoing commitment to sustainable growth, to building community, and to the hands-on learning that is the hallmark of our School. Above all, in both word and image this report will, I hope, give you a sense of the impressive optimism, intelligence, and energy of the Rare Book School community—our investment in study, Michael F. Suarez, S.J. service, and creative outreach to new, broader communities.

The library and archive, though partial and imperfect, function as the world’s memory, the means by which humanity can have a living history and a continuing consciousness of itself. In his account of the long conflict between Sparta and Athens, our ancient benefactor Thucydides grapples with questions that are no less relevant today: What causes nations to go to war? How can politics best serve the common good? What is the genuine measure of a great leader, or a great democracy? We are immeasurably enriched because of his brave gift to posterity.

The continued endurance of human memory in the still-tenuous record of our common past requires what Edmund Burke called “a partnership between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are yet to be born.” At Rare Book School, our work of education, advocacy, and outreach is helping to secure the record of human history as a “possession forever” not merely for our own time, but for a people still to come.

Sincerely,

Michael F. Suarez, S.J. Executive Director

Presswork Grant

Rare Book School, in partnership with UVA Special Collections, has received a grant from The Jefferson Trust, an initiative of the UVA Alumni Association, to fund “Presswork: A Program for Hands-on Historical Printing & Research.” This two-year project draws on a spectrum of technologies and experiential learning techniques to foster student- and faculty-led printing and research at the University of Virginia. The program will build on UVA’s prominence as a leading research center for the history of printing, while training undergraduate and graduate students in the art of historical letterpress and intaglio printing techniques. These students will, in turn, demonstrate printing practices to a variety of audiences, including UVA undergraduate and graduate courses, K–12 students, UVA alumni, and members of the Charlottesville community.

Remembering Bill Reese

We were deeply saddened by the death of William S. Reese in June 2018. The longtime proprietor of the William Reese Company, Bill was also a former RBS faculty member and delivered four RBS evening lectures. His support of RBS programming through the Reese Fellowships in the Print Culture of the Americas and his many gifts to our teaching collections will long be remembered with gratitude.

The Linda Smith Bequest

Rare Book School was privileged to receive a significant bequest from the estate of Linda L. Smith in 2018. Linda, who retired as Head of the Cataloging Department at the University of North Florida in 2010, attended seven RBS courses from 1993 to 2000. We are extremely grateful to her for remembering us in her will and for this generous gift.

13 COLLECTIONS INITIATIVE AND RBS ROTUNDA EXHIBITION October 2017 – September 2018

RBS Collections Enhancement Initiative

As part of our ongoing initiative to organize, catalog, and enhance Rare Book School’s teaching collections, we were pleased to welcome four distinguished research fellows to Rare Book School this year. During their time in residence at RBS, the fellows worked to improve catalogue records, develop finding aids, and create custom teaching guides for materials that have been underused in the School’s courses, owing to their bibliographical complexity.

As the Justin G. Schiller Fellow for the Cataloging and Description of Ephemera, bibliographer Erin Schreiner enriched the cataloging and description of our collection of printed and manuscript ephemera—containing more than 450 folders of material— ensuring that this collection can be more effectively used in RBS courses.

A grant from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation funded three research fellowships: Sharon Mintz (Curator of Jewish Art at the Library of The Jewish Theological Seminary and Senior Consultant for Judaica at Sotheby’s New York) developed catalogue records and teaching notes for nineteen pre-1950 items in the RBS collection of Hebraic and Judaic materials; Devin Fitzgerald (Senior Fellow, Andrew W. Mellon 12 Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography; Ph.D. candidate, East Asian History, 34 Harvard University) cataloged our collection of Chinese printed books and began

5 developing a teaching guide for these materials; finally, expert bibliographer John

23 RBS-UVA Fellowship The RBS-UVA Fellowship program allows undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Virginia to take a Rare Book School course that directly informs a long-term academic project (e.g., a thesis, scholarly article, or public exhibit). Seven fellows were selected for the 2017–18 cohort, drawn from the departments of art, French, and English.

The Betsy and Stuart Houston Prize is awarded for the most distinguished project submitted at the end of the year-long fellowship. In 2018 this award went to Samuel Lemley for his paper “Fragments & Synecdoche in the Antiquarian Mode.” Honorable Mention was awarded to Julianne McCobin for “Circulating Anxiety: Nathanael West’s Miss Lonelyhearts and David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest as Critiques of American Print Culture.”

28 29 FINANCIAL ASSETS & ACTIVITIES October 2017 – September 2018

Rare Book School enjoyed a highly successful 2018 fiscal year, with revenues in excess of expenses by a healthy margin. Our ability to operate “in the black” is the result of generous contributions from individual donors and foundations, as well as strong tuition income from 41 courses and 2 short seminars offered throughout the fiscal year. Revenue from scholarships released from designated funds was another significant factor, both for the School and for the 23% of RBS students who were able to attend courses with scholarship assistance. Continuing our commitment to provide access to the professional development opportunities afforded by RBS courses, we were able to allocate a significant portion of our remaining year-end balance toward scholarships for future students of all backgrounds, while also setting aside funds for incidental costs relating to the upcoming Alderman Library renovations.

In FY2018, gifts and bequests from donors not only provided general support for our annual fund, but also continued to build the School’s endowment and bolster our scholarship programs and our Collections Enhancement Initiative. Funding from foundations and grant agencies also provided ongoing support for the Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography, for our new “Presswork” program, and for the development of new diversity initiatives.

Recent improvements to our financial infrastructure and reporting capabilities have allowed RBS to adopt new FASB nonprofit accounting regulations ahead of schedule. On our website you will find the School’s 990 Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax form, as well as audited financial statements.

With the help of generous donors and dedicated students, the finances of our School are in excellent shape. On behalf of the School and its Board of Directors, I thank you for your ongoing financial support of our programs.

Sincerely,

Danielle Culpepper Director of Budget & Finance
