Bibliographical Society Of America

Bsa programs require administrative support. This includes staff time for advertising programs, receiving and organizing application materials for distribution and review by selection committees, communicating with the applicants about the status of their applications, and issuing awards. Successful applicants to our grants, prizes, and fellowship programs also need to be paid in accordance with irs regulations, requiring staff time and attention. Staff time and professional services are also required to organize events, work with vendors, and arrange for necessary insurance coverage as needed. This category of expenses also covers various software subscriptions that allow us to host events online.

Each year the society offers an array of grants (called fellowships), prizes, and other awards programs to recognize scholarly excellence in bibliography and support new research and developing scholars. This includes our fellowship and new scholars programs and annual prizes.
