2 FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Several years ago, I scheduled a research visit to a library in Germany during my summer vacation. On my first day, one of the librarians came to my desk to ask: Was I the director of the famous Rare Book School at UVA? Having found her quarry, she told me with great ardor that, more than a decade ago, she had made the long trip to Virginia to take a course. As a result, she was given new responsibilities at the library. Applying what she’d learned, she had received a promotion and the library was doing better work. She loved her new job, and has been working at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin ever since. Now, finally, she could offer her thanks in person. “The School,” she said, “it is important.”

It is a privilege to share with you this report documenting many of Rare Book School’s activities and achievements over our past fiscal year. Even as our labors are resolutely in the day-to-day pursuit of educational excellence, our vision is by no Michael F. Suarez, S.J. means limited to the more immediate impact that our courses will have in the lives of our students. Our efforts are also driven by the long-term good that comes from teaching those who come to RBS how they might best care for and interpret the historical record.

Our School is an unparalleled, international community of learning, a passionate comity of archivists and librarians, teachers and scholars, booksellers and collectors. At Rare Book School, we are re-animating humanities education, breathing new life into old scholarly pursuits, and inculcating wonder in our students. We are fostering future leaders in libraries and archives, promoting access and diversity across the bookish professions, and preparing the next wave of collectors for their long-term contribution to the public good.

The fate of our textual treasures in the decades to come depends on those who will safeguard and explain the riches of our written inheritance. The generous donors whose names grace these colorful pages are doing more than sustaining the work of our School; they are helping to preserve and illuminate the record of humanity’s endless striving to know more about ourselves and our world.

Sincerely,

Michael F. Suarez, S.J. Executive Director

Global Book Histories Initiative

Our Global Book Histories Initiative (GBHI) aims to expand and strengthen the School’s course offerings in non-western book history and bibliography. It will also provide learning opportunities for members of communities underrepresented in the field of rare book librarianship and bibliography, as well as those working with the cultural heritage collections of underrepresented communities. In December 2016 we received a $100,000 matching grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, which will fund scholarships and a public lecture series from June 2018 through June 2021.

Wooden Rolling Press

Visitors to the South Gallery of UVA’s Harrison Institute/Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library will notice two new arrivals. In April, the UVA Library’s wooden common press was relocated from the second floor of Alderman Library, and we installed a new, replica eighteenth-century wooden rolling press, commissioned by RBS and based on Diderot’s designs in the Encyclopédie. Built by RBS faculty member Roger Gaskell in the UK, this press is one of the few replicas in existence, and the only one (to our knowledge) that will be used side- by-side with a replica eighteenth- century wooden common press for bibliographical study, teaching, and research. In addition, the presses will be used for a variety of public programs as well as RBS- and Special Collections-related demonstrations and instruction sessions. . . .

14 COLLECTIONS INITIATIVE AND RBS ROTUNDA EXHIBITION October 2016 – September 2017

RBS Collections Enhancement Initiative

In March 2017, we concluded fundraising for our “TB75” campaign—an initiative, honoring Terry Belanger, to organize, catalog, and enhance Rare Book School’s teaching collections. The campaign raised a total of $277,258 (exceeding our goal of $275,000), including: a $100,000 grant from the Pine Tree Foundation, a total of $50,000 in contributions from Florence Fearrington; and a $15,000 grant from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation. Thanks to this extraordinary support, and to the many other generous gifts that we received, we were able to develop the front end of RBS’s new catalogue database “Silva” (named in honor of the Pine Tree Foundation and Szilvia Szmuk-Tanenbaum), and hire to Lucy Kelsall as the Florence Fearrington Rare Materials Cataloger. Lucy arrived at RBS in May to undertake a three-year cataloging project that will focus on processing the School’s collections backlog and on enhancing records for our rarer holdings. Funds raised through this initiative will also be used to hire research fellows and additional part-time preservation staff, allowing us to catalog valuable Hebrew, Asian, and Arabic materials, as well as our large ephemera collection and other collections materials.

Rotunda Exhibition An Archipelago of Readers

Rare Book School’s second exhibition in the renovated UVA Rotunda, “An Archipelago of Readers: Forming a Literary Culture in Digital Media,” was organized by Katherine McNamara, founding editor and publisher of Archipelago Publishers, Inc. and its imprint Artist’s Proof Editions. Will Norton, a first-year Echols Scholar at UVA, assisted with the organization of the exhibition. Founded in 1997, the online quarterly literary journal Archipelago sought to negotiate the shifting sands of literary trade publishing during a period of change in the ownership of publishing houses. McNamara brought together publishers, editors, writers, artists, cultural critics, and other agents invested in literary culture. Drawn from McNamara’s extensive archive, this exhibition was designed to highlight not only the new freedom afforded by online platforms, but also the constraints placed upon text and images in the early days of the Web.

RBS FELLOWSHIP ACTIVITIES October 2016 – September 2017

Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship of Scholars in Critical Bibliography

In 2017, the final year of the RBS-Mellon Fellowship program, Fellows attended thirty-seven Rare Book School courses and worked with RBS staff to organize the “Bibliography Among the Disciplines” conference. A group of Fellows also began planning the activities of the Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows (see below).

The RBS-Mellon Fellows received support to attend bibliographical field schools: . . . targeted visits to metropolitan areas that provide fellows the opportunity As of September 2017, thirty-four to meet with leading curators, private collectors, antiquarian booksellers, and of the fifty-five Senior Fellows held conservators. A field school in New York in March 2017 included visits to the New York Academy of Medicine; the New York Public Library; Sotheby’s; tenured or tenure-track academic the Grolier Club; the Morgan Library & Museum; the Columbia University Rare appointments; eleven held postdoctoral Book & Manuscript Library; and the premises of Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, or adjunct academic positions; four Inc., as well as several notable private collections. were completing dissertations; Fellows were also provided with funding to host academic symposia in bibliography, and one was an independent scholar. book history, and related fields at their home institutions. Thirty-one of these Five held professional curatorial symposia were held between October 2016 and the end of the grant period, appointments. We are delighted with including “Material Knowledge: Science and the Hand Press” (Georgia State University); “Cultural and Textual Exchanges: The Manuscript Across Premodern the impact the Fellows continue to Eurasia” (University of Iowa); “Objects of Study: Paper, Ink, and the Material have on their respective fields. Turn” (University of Pennsylvania); “Eccentric Readings in East Asia” (Princeton . . . University); and “Buddhist Book Cultures” (University of Denver).

In July 2017, Rare Book School received a $1 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support the Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography. Building on the success of the 2012–17 fellowship program, this new scholarly organization will identify and investigate matters of new, compelling cross-disciplinary interest in the areas of bibliography and book history. Fifty-five of the RBS-Mellon Fellows have joined the Society as Senior Fellows, and the first ten Junior Fellows will be selected in the spring of 2018.

These awards allow recipients to attend a course at Rare Book School and to increase their professional involvement at the national level through participation in RBMS and attendance at its annual conference.

The two inaugural RBS-RBMS Fellows, Kaydian Campbell and Angelibel Soto, each attended a Rare Book School course and the RBMS annual conference in Iowa City in the summer of 2017.

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 2016–17 cohort, drawn from the departments of art, classics, religious studies, 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 2017 this award went to Samantha Wallace for her paper “Artifact, Assemblage, and the Composite Work.” Honorable Mention was awarded to Chloe Wells for “The Duc de Luynes’s Modern Vision of Antiquity: Sculpture, Polychromy, and Photography in Nineteenth-Century France.”

FINANCIAL ASSETS & ACTIVITIES October 2016 – September 2017

Rare Book School enjoyed a highly successful 2017 fiscal year, with operating 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. Revenue from scholarships released from restriction 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 its commitment to provide access to the professional development opportunities afforded by RBS courses, the School was able to allocate 100% of its remaining year-end balance toward scholarships for future students of all backgrounds.

The School’s financial strength in 2017 was not new, but rather part of a trend of fiscal success over many years, during which RBS has consistently run a surplus while receiving clean, unqualified reports from our external auditors. In FY2017, donors not only provided general support for our annual fund, but also used their giving to help build our endowment and to fund programs such as the RBS Collections Enhancement Initiative. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation continued its support of the School by awarding RBS a $1MM grant for the Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography. RBS investments consistently performed as well as could be expected or even better than our benchmarks. We have also continued our efforts to refine and build upon our financial infrastructure, enhancing our reporting capabilities and strengthening our already commendable controls.

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
