Early Book
Society
The History of the EBS
The Early Book Society grew out of sessions planned for the
International Congress on Medieval Studies (Western Michigan University,
Kalamazoo) by Sarah Horrall and Martha Driver. Founded as an independent
entity in 1987, the society was formed to bring together all those who
are interested in any aspect of the study of manuscripts and early printed
books. EBS now has 311 members in the US, Canada, Japan, Great Britain,
and the Continent. Membership brings announcements of EBS activities, including
the biennial conference, as well as information about related events, republication
discounts on books of interest to members, and access to the EBS chat line.
Dues, used to defray mailing and xeroxing costs, are $15 US or 10 pounds
sterling for 1996-1997. The membership list is free to all paid EBS subscribers.
