SUMMARY:Snarkapalooza
DESCRIPTION:Join this Webinar on March 29. \n\n\n\nNoon Pacific / 3:00 PM Eastern / 8:00 PM UK \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoin us as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of The Hunting of the Snark with entertaining and enlightening talks\, plus some surprises! Pre-show starts a half hour before showtime. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeed to review some Snark basics? Or maybe you just can’t get enough Snark! Either way\, tune in 30 minutes before our official start time for a fairly-faithful\, 19-minute animated adaptation of THOTS\, plus some Snark-inspired music. After which\, our presenters will be ready to charm you with smiles and soap. ADDENDUM MARCH 29: We’ve got a late-breaking addition to the Snarkapalooza! Music icon Mike Batt will be leading us off. Please see the revised schedule below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nView the Snarkapalooza program for complete info on your presenters and talks. \n\n\n\nComic book creator Macy Grove – Playing in Nonsense: The Joy of Adapting T.H.O.T.S. \n\n\n\nMacy shares her adventure from first encountering the poem to imagining variations and subplots and creating the visual world of characters and creatures. She’ll discuss how the self-published project came to life with the help of artists\, friends\, family—and a healthy dose of creative bumbling\, incidental discoveries\, and fortunate accidents. \n\n\n\n2024 Wonderland Award Winner Elijah Granet – Snark Raving Mad: Law in “The Barrister’s Fit” \n\n\n\nAmidst the delightful silliness and nonsense in the Barrister’s Fit\, Carroll included a lot more legal truth than many readers might realize. In the wild world of English legal history\, ometimes the funniest absurdities are the actual state of the law! From pigs committing crimes to sleeping judges\, this talk discusses how English law is as satirical in reality as in Snark. \n\n\n\nIllustrator & Writer David Elliot – Beyond the Tulgey Wood \n\n\n\nThe imaginative wanderings of both writers and illustrators often extend far beyond the confines of their published works. David Elliot attempts to deconstruct the greater world of The Hunting of the Snark and explores alternative mechanisms for its depiction. Followed by Q&A with Snarkologist editor Dayna Nuhn. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout Your Speakers \n\n\n\nMacy Grove (she/her) rediscovered her love of Lewis Carroll’s poetry after receiving Jabberwocky and other Nonsense Poems as a gift. She quickly became captivated by The Hunting of the Snark and set out to bring the story— and the images it sparked in her imagination— to life\, leading to the creation of Macy Grove Comics. She lives on the Olympic Peninsula with her loving spouse and three loyal hounds. She can be found hunting her Snark in the mountains and on the sea—reliably meeting\, traveling\, and adventuring with some of the most interesting and enjoyable characters one could ever hope to know. \n\n\n\nElijah Granet is an attorney at the Colorado bar\, with law degrees from England and the US\, as well as the editor of Legal Style Blog. He is also admitted to practice law in the British Antarctic Territory\, so please send any penguin clients his way. Elijah was the winner of the University of California’s Wonderland Award in 2024. \n\n\n\nDavid Elliot is an internationally recognized writer and illustrator for children. He has provided illustrations for bestselling authors in the UK and USA (most notably Brian Jacques’ Redwall series). David’s relationship with Lewis Carroll’s Hunting of the Snark dates back to his schooldays. This is manifest in two significant publications\, the hand-printed Hunting of the Snark (Otakau Private Press) and his own Snark\, Being a True History of the Expedition that Discovered the Snark and the Jabberwock and Its Tragic Aftermath (University of Otago Press). Both books have been well-received within and beyond the Carrollian communities around the world\, Snark winning the New Zealand Childrens literature Book of the Year in 2014. David lives in Port Chalmers\, a small harbour settlement in New Zealand’s deep south. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout Your Hosts \n\n\n\nHeather Simmons is the LCSNA virtual events chair and creator of the website/podcast Alice Is Everywhere. \n\n\n\nDayna Nuhn is the editor of The Snarkologist and a frequent LCSNA contributor. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n“What I tell you three times is true.” \n\n\n\n-The Bellman

SUMMARY:LCSNA Grant Recipient Yunshu Qiu
DESCRIPTION:Watch Across the Atlantic and What I Found There on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAcross the Atlantic and What I Found There: The Chinese Translations of the Alice books in Two American Archives presented by Yunshu Qiu \n\n\n\nPartly funded by the Stan Marx Fund of the LCSNA\, I visited two major archives in the United States last summer: the Bancroft Library at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas\, Austin. Both archives hold extensive materials relating to the Chinese translations and adaptations of the Alice books.  \n\n\n\nThe Bancroft Library houses the papers of Yuen Ren Chao 趙元任\, the first Chinese translator of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Had the Shanghai publishing house not been bombed by the Japanese army\, he would also have published the second Chinese translation of Through the Looking-Glass. After moving to the United States in the 1940s and later becoming Professor of Chinese Linguistics at UC Berkeley\, Chao donated his papers to the Bancroft after retirement. The archive contains his personal and professional correspondence\, research files\, manuscripts\, teaching materials\, and personal documents. It preserves a wealth of Alice-related materials\, particularly his multiple versions of the translation of Through the Looking-Glass produced across forty years.  \n\n\n\nThe Harry Ransom Center holds three Alice-related collections: the Charles Lutwidge Dodgson Collection\, the Byron W. Sewell and Susan R. Sewell Collection of Lewis Carroll\, and the Warren Weaver Collection. Although the first two collections are valuable and illuminating\, the Warren Weaver Collection is especially significant for my research\, as it includes several early Chinese translations and adaptations of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.  \n\n\n\nThis presentation will highlight my findings from these two archives and offer some preliminary reflections on their implications for my study of Chinese Alice translations. \n\n\n\nYunshu Qiu is a PhD candidate in Comparative Literatures and Cultures at the University of Bristol (England\, UK). She was awarded an LCSNA grant from the Stan Marx Fund to support archival research at the University of California\, Berkeley and the University of Texas at Austin on “Through Eurasia and What Alice Found There: the Early Chinese Translation and Reception of Lewis Carroll’s Alice Books.”

SUMMARY:Lewis Carroll's Girls: Growing Up Female in Victorian England
DESCRIPTION:Watch Growing Up Female in Victorian England on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Karen Bourrier\, Professor of English at the University of Calgary\, as she discusses her research and upcoming book on the lives of Lewis Carroll’s child friends. Hosted by LCSNA Board Member Diane Waggoner\, Curator of Photographs at the National Gallery of Art. \n\n\n\nOur upcoming talk\, Lewis Carroll’s Girls\, comes out of a book project Karen Bourrier is currently working on\, a collective biography of the girls that Charles Dodgson befriended. The book focuses on the child-friends who grew up in Oxford; many of Dodgson’s child-friends were the daughters of liberal\, reforming academics. They were largely born in the 1850s and 1860s\, at a time of expanding educational and career possibilities for women. The book project follows the thread of their lives\, as they became the first women students at college\, suffragists\, artists\, and educators. This past spring\, Bourrier worked on this book as a fellow at the Life Writing Centre at Trinity College\, Wolfson. \n\n\n\nKaren Bourrier is a professor of English at the University of Calgary\, where she specializes in Victorian literature and culture and women’s writing. Her most recent book is Victorian Bestseller: The Life of Dinah Craik (U Michigan\, 2019).

SUMMARY:Carroll en Francais
DESCRIPTION:Watch Carroll en Francais on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us as Justine Houyaux and Douglas Kibbee explore French translations of Lewis Carroll’s works. \n\n\n\nSurrealice-Adjacent: Three French Translators of Carroll in the Interwar Period with Justine Houyaux \n\n\n\nAfter a brief contextualisation of the French reception (or lack thereof) of Lewis Carroll’s works\, we will look into three of his translators of the late 1920s/early 1930s: Louis Aragon (1897-1982)\, Marie-Madeleine Fayet (1893-1963)\, and René Bour (1908-1934) through their translations of The Hunting of the Snark\, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There in order to discover what they had in common\, and what they set them apart from each other— and from subsequent French translators. \n\n\n\nJustine Houyaux is a PhD student at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Translation and Interpreting Studies (CIRTI) at ULiège (Belgium) whose work focuses on the cultural elements in the French translations of Alice. Her latest work\, Alice au Pays des merveilles\, traduction et illustrations de René Bour (2023)is a new edition of Bour’s Carrollian endeavour (1937)\, presented together with the first-ever biography of the artist. \n\n\n\nMore curiouser and more curiouser! with Douglas Kibbee \n\n\n\n“Lewis Carroll is untranslatable\, and everywhere he has been translated” quipped Peter Rickard\, a British scholar\, back in 1975. At that point he identified sixteen translations of Alice in Wonderland into French. Now there are at least fifty-one. If translation of ordinary English is difficult\, translating unconventional English is much more difficulter(!). We’ll examine the different rabbit holes followed by French translators in rendering one sentence: “Curiouser and curiouser!” cried Alice (she was so much surprised that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English). Your contributions are welcome! No knowledge of French necessary. \n\n\n\nDouglas Kibbee is professor emeritus of French Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Over the years he has created a corpus of the fifty-one translations\, organized sentence by sentence. He has also written several articles analyzing different aspects of these translations and translated himself folk tales from the Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast).

SUMMARY:Six Impossible Things with Matt Demakos
DESCRIPTION:Watch Six Impossible Things on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIt’s an LCSNA event with a twist: you get to help choose the program! Join Matt Demakos as he discusses a recent research project involving six short videos on different Carrollian topics\, then vote on which videos we’ll watch live! Plus\, Alan Tannenbaum talks about the LCSNA YouTube channel. A sneak preview of your choices: \n\n\n\nThe Carpenter’s Paper Hat: How to Fold and Not to FoldSeveral modern-day publications and videos show how the Carpenter would have folded the paper hat that he wears on his head. But how did Victorians really fold it? Watch\, and learn a bit of history as well. \n\n\n\nLooking-Glass Chess: The Blunders and the BlunderersLooking-Glass chess is indeed strange and many of the moves the characters make are certainly blunders\, that is\, bone-headed\, or outright mad. But not all is as it seems. Some supposed blunders are\, curiously enough\, not blunders at all. Watch and see if you can guess which are which? (You do not have to be a chess expert to understand the commentary.) \n\n\n\nAlice’s Flight from Looking-Glass Castle: An Alternative Ending RevealedDid Carroll have another ending in mind for Looking-Glass? According to the analysis presented here—which scrutinizes the chess\, Carroll’s own text\, and an old lady’s memory—he most certainly did. It also may have been the superior ending. Listen and decide for yourself. \n\n\n\nAbout that Mysterious Prelude in the Alice OperettaIn 1886\, Henry Savile Clark and Walter Slaughter’s Alice in Wonderland was performed on the stage. Did a piece of music\, regulated to a mere prelude in 1887\, once accompany the deleted scene where Alice passes through the Looking-Glass? Listen to the evidence and the music to decide for yourself. (For the first time\, the video presents an actual piece of orchestration once heard by Lewis Carroll.) \n\n\n\nJohn Tenniel’s Method: The Jabberwock ExplainsThe illustration of the Jabberwock is used to explain how John Tenniel created his wood-engraved illustrations for the Alice books. An intentional mistake is made\, however\, during the course of the discussion. Do you have an observant\, sharp\, logical enough mind to spot it? We will let you know. \n\n\n\nWidener’s Lost Wonderland: An Open Letter to the Current OwnerThere are several lost items related to Lewis Carroll that would be as thrill to find\, his lost diaries\, for example. But there is one that gets little press\, namely\, a copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that once belonged to Joseph E. Widener. It contained forty of Tenniel’s drawings (likely tracings)\, and several letters regarding the book from Carroll and Tenniel\, amongst other things. Will the owner come forward? \n\n\n\nAbout Your Speaker \n\n\n\nMatthew Demakos has been writing about the life and works of Lewis Carroll for over twenty years.  His papers include “Hiawatha Annotating\,” an in-depth look into Carroll’s poem “Hiawatha’s Photographing”; “Alice’s Adventures from Under Ground to Wonderland\,” an exploration into the differences between the two works; “Children through the Ages\,” a study into the true ages of Carroll’s so-called “child-friends”; and “The Authentic Wasp\,” a look into the authorship of “The Wasp in a Wig” episode. \n\n\n\nIn a more comic bent\, yet serious\, Demakos wrote “Alice’s Ups and Downs: A Pedantic Approach to Exactify Ambiguity in Wonderland” and its sequel “Bounding Brooks and Hopping Hedges: Looking-Glass Chess For Beginners.”  The first retells Wonderland with a keen eye on Alice’s ever-changing height\, and the second retells Looking-Glass while scrutinizing the chess moves made by the characters. \n\n\n\nHe has also written on Carroll’s shyness in “Accountably and Unaccountably Shy\,” and has two as-yet unpublished annotated versions of Carroll’s poems “The Walrus and the Carpenter” and “A-sitting on a Gate.” \n\n\n\nHis works on John Tenniel\, include: \n\n\n\n · “Once I Was A Real Turtle: Tenniel’s Post-Publication Drawings and Tracings in the Berg Collection” (Knight Letter\, Spring  and Fall 2018) \n\n\n\n· “Sketch—Trace—Draw: From Tenniel’s Hands to Carroll’s Eyes” (Knight Letter\, Spring and Fall 2020 \n\n\n\n· Cut—Proof—Print: From Tenniel’s Hands to Carroll’s Eyes (a continuation of the above available on the Lewis Carroll Society of North America Website) \n\n\n\n· The Tenniel Letters: Concerning His Drawings for Lewis Carroll’s Alice (proposed title for a work ninety-eight percent complete) \n\n\n\n· Catalogue of Original Drawings\, Tracings and Touched Proofs by Sir John Tenniel Bound in Extra-Illustrated Copies of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass Including Two Frames and Other Various Collections (to be available online)

SUMMARY:Picturing Wonderland with Abelardo Morell
DESCRIPTION:Watch Picturing Wonderland on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for Picturing Wonderland\, with esteemed artist Abelardo Morell in conversation with Diane Waggoner\, curator of photographs at the National Gallery of Art. \n\n\n\n“In 1998\, I made a series of photographs illustrating Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. I designed my images to be situated within a landscape made of books because it struck me that Carroll had linked Wonderland to the idea of discovering imagination by digging deep into the pages of a book… While this photographic work is unavoidably steered and shaded by the eeriness of our present times\, it is largely a product of invention\, imagination and freedom – things needed to make something new out of the old.”  \n\n\n\nAbelardo Morell was born in Havana\, Cuba in 1948. He immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1962. Morell received his undergraduate degree from Bowdoin College and his MFA from The Yale University School of Art. He was professor of Photography at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston from 1983 to 2010. His many publications include a photographic illustration of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1998) by Dutton Children’s Books. His many awards include a Guggenheim fellowship in 1994 and an Infinity Award in Art from ICP in 2011. His work has been collected and shown in countless galleries\, institutions and museums\, including the Museum of Modern Art\, The Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York\, The Chicago Art Institute\, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, The Houston Museum of Art\, The Boston Museum of Fine Art and The Victoria & Albert Museum. \n\n\n\nDiane Waggoner is curator of photographs at the National Gallery of Art\, where she has curated numerous exhibitions\, including The PreRaphaelite Lens: British Photography and Painting\, 1848-1875 and East of the Mississippi: Nineteenth-Century American Landscape Photography. She holds a PhD in art history from Yale University. In 2020\, she published Lewis Carroll’s Photography and Modern Childhood with Princeton University Press. She currently serves on the board of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America.

SUMMARY:Through the Wonderglass: Alice in Science and Medicine\, in the Victorian Age and Beyond 
DESCRIPTION:Watch Through The Wonderglass on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Dr. Franziska Kohlt \n\n\n\nWhen discussing the immensely varied history and legacy of the Alice books\, science has traditionally played a marginal role. But what if I told you that a major way in which the book and its author were understood in its time was through its contributions to public discussions around and understanding of scientific and medical topics? That its author was deeply involved in scientific\, medical\, ecological issues of his time? And that Alice has been since his\, and until our day\, a major vehicle for scientists to communicate mind-bending – as well as unsettling – discoveries in their fields\, and the far-reaching consequences they have on our worlds?   \n\n\n\nThis talk will take you on a journey through the scientific cultural history of the Alice books. Re-examining Carroll’s own engagement with science\, from his childhood reading to his engagement with microscopy\, alongside his literary writing\, one will cast a fresh light on the other. The whistle-stop tour will spotlight tea-parties and their role within the Victorian history of psychiatry\, the presence of microscopes\, magic lanterns and photography in Carroll’s works through Victorian optical culture\, in education and childhood culture. And it will explain the perhaps surprising connections between the centrality of ecology and entomology in Through the Looking-Glass\, and Victorian theories on the science and theology of acting\, in the light of Alice’s stage adaptations.   \n\n\n\nAs well as illuminating the Alice books\, this little-studied history will also illuminate some earlier and later Carroll favourites from Photography Extraordinary\, or Phantasmagoria to Bruno’s Revenge or the enigmatic Wasp in the Wig chapter.   \n\n\n\nLooking finally at the little-known history of Alice in popular science\, in early mentions in\, Alice through the Microscope\, or ephemeral concepts\, such as “Quantum Cheshire Cats” and “Alice in Wonderland Syndrome\,” obvious appearance of Alice as scientific explorer\, as in Alice in Rainforest-land\, or Alice\, the Cat Zeta and Climate Change\, and less obvious\, but all the more significant appearances\, such as Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring\, this talk will show how Alice is as inseparable from the history of Science\, in which she became explorer\, guide\, and questioner – as she is from Wonderland.     \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Your Speaker \n\n\n\nDr. Franziska Kohlt is a Leverhulme Research Fellow in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Leeds\, where she currently researches the history of public science education in early nineteenth-century Britain. She holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford\, where her DPhil thesis investigated the historical intersections of the history of psychology and psychiatry and the works of Victorian writers of fantastic literature. She is also the Inaugural Carrollian Fellow at the University of Southern California in LA\, where she is currently finishing her book Through the Wonderglass: The Unexpected Histories of a Children’s Classic\, which will appear with Reaktion Press\, into which this talk will give an exclusive preview.

SUMMARY:JOB-erwocky: Making (Non)Sense of the World
DESCRIPTION:Noon Pacific Time / 3:00 Eastern Time / 8:00 PM UK \n\n\n\nWatch this presentation on nonce formation on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe biblical book of Job is written in a unique dialect of ancient Hebrew\, containing way more word coinage than any other book in the Bible. This early nonsense poetry employs nonce formation in a way that often parallels Lewis Carroll\, and often shares the same purpose. \n\n\n\nAbout Ryan Armstrong\, Ph.D. \n\n\n\nDr. Armstrong makes use of his broad expertise to place rigorous philological scholarship of the Hebrew Bible in conversation with voices throughout history. From medieval rabbis to Christian reformers and Enlightenment artists\, interpreters are emotionally invested in the words of the Bible. By understanding how diverse communities have related to these ancient texts\, Armstrong uncovers ways for modern readers to relate to them. His recent work looks at the Book of Job with insights gained from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, as it features debates between zany characters who describe the world through nonsensical poems that are full of nonce words. Take scholarly adventures with him on his YouTube channel\, Bible and Culture with Dr. Armstrong!

SUMMARY:LCSNA Summer School Session 3 - Ambition & Distraction
DESCRIPTION:Watch this talk on Lewis Carroll’s word game syzygies on YouTube \n\n\n\n\nLewis Carroll’s Game of Syzygies and How It Drove Him Slightly Crazy with Christopher Morgan \n2:00 PM Eastern/11:00 AM Pacific \nMove over\, Wordle! Christopher Morgan is ready to inform and enthrall you with the history of a trendy word game from periodicals past: Syzygies! Carroll devoted a great deal of time and effort to his game of Syzygies columns\, which ran from July 23\, 1891 to June 3\, 1892 in The Lady magazine. Their total word count was approximately 31\,200 words\, roughly equivalent to that of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland! The columns reveal Carroll’s busy mind at work and his many flashes of his dry wit. \nCarroll wrote often for the popular press\, because for all his otherworldly appearance\, he was a practical man who understood that he should keep his name before the public for commercial reasons. And being a great letter writer\, he also loved the weekly back-and-forth interaction with the readers. \nBut all was not smooth sailing. Syzygies\, with its complicated scoring and contestants who liked to bend the rules a bit (or simply play the game in ways not foreseen by Carroll) often brought out elements of his personality one does not usually associate with the author of the Alice books. He could be\, by turns\, pedantic\, frustrated\, despairing\, admonitory\, sarcastic\, and\, finally\, deflated. \nChristopher Morgan is the outgoing editor of Knight Letter and the editor of The Pamphlets of Lewis Carroll\, Volume 5: Games\, Puzzles\, and Related Pieces\, for the LCSNA. It contains his introductory essays\, notes\, and annotations\, and the complete text of all of the Syzygies columns.

SUMMARY:The Great Debate: Wonderland vs. Looking-Glass
DESCRIPTION:Watch the Great Alice in Wonderland Debate on YouTube  \n\n\n\n\nPlease join us for a delightful discourse you won’t hear anywhere else! Specially-selected Carrollian academics and literary luminaries will take sides and amicably argue once and for all which is the more scholastically significant\, culturally compelling\, engrossingly eloquent\, all-around better book: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland or Through the Looking-Glass??? Dr. Jan Susina and Charlie Lovett will redoubtably represent Team Wonderland\, while Ellie Luchinsky and Brian Sibley formidably fight for Team Looking-Glass. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit debate questions and also vote for their favorite tome at the beginning and end of the proceedings! \nIs this event all in good fun? Certainly. Is it also a knock-down dragout contest in which one team will triumphantly emerge victorious\, while the other suffers the stinging indignity of defeat? ABSOLUTELY. \nBios\nIn the Wonderland corner\, wearing the waistcoat and checkered pants: \n\nJan Susina teaches and researches children’s and adolescent literature and culture\, and Victorian literature and culture. His book\, The Place of Lewis Carroll in Children’s Literature (Routledge 2009\, 2011)\, examines how the author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland significantly changed literature for children as well as publishing.\n\n\nCharlie Lovett is a writer\, teacher\, and playwright whose plays for children have been seen in over 5000 productions worldwide. He served for more than a decade as Writer-in-Residence at Summit School in Winston-Salem\, NC. Charlie is the author of the NYT Bestseller THE BOOKMAN’S TALE\, and FIRST IMPRESSIONS (A Novel of Old Books\, Unexpected Love\, and Jane Austen). He has a new novel\, just published in September\, Escaping Dreamland. He is a past president of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America.\n\nIn the Looking-Glass corner\, wearing the striped tights and unruly shawl: \n\nBrian Sibley is author of over 100 hours of radio drama and has written and presented hundreds of radio documentaries\, features and weekly programmes. He is widely known as the author of many film “making of” books\, including those for the Harry Potter series and The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.\n\n\nIn 1968\, Ellen “Ellie” Luchinsky’s sister gave her The Complete [sic] Works of Lewis Carroll and Ellie’s fate was sealed. Nine years later\, she embarked on a 37 year career as a librarian at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore\, where she was the Manager of the Fine Arts Department and later the Humanities Department. When not mystifying her co-workers with obscure Lewis Carroll quotations\, she edited The Song Index of the Enoch Pratt Free Library (Garland\, 1998).

SUMMARY:A Collector’s Path: The Course and Content of Collecting Today
DESCRIPTION:Time: 3:00 PM Eastern; 12:00 PM Pacific \nJoin Collections Advisor\, Spencer W. Stuart as he discusses case studies from his professional practice as well as the past to chart the life cycle of collections and the collectors who build them. \nThrough these examinations he will touch on important things collectors should consider at key moments of their collecting such as motivations that move one to collect\, how to maintain perspective while actively collecting and finally the legacy of a collection as well as deaccessioning strategies. \nReferenced throughout are the recent structural changes that have taken place in the fine art photography\, rare books and printed material markets\, resulting in a more transparent ecosystem to participate in as a collector as well as the emergence of tendencies Spencer has observed with new collectors that he feels are redefining notions of who collects and what influences their focus.Collecting is a journey. Executed with foresight\, it can be a source of both self-exploration and understanding of the World. Through his talk\, Spencer seeks to inspire new collectors and reinvigorate those with an established focus. \nCollecting is a journey.
