Join us for the 2025 annual conference of the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing (SHARP). The theme of this year's conference is "Communities and Values of the Book," with a special emphasis on the vibrant history and contemporary culture of authorship, creation, archiving, publishing, selling, and bookmaking in Western and Central New York. The conference will be held at the University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology, with optional excursions on Friday.

Registration is free for Rochester community members (including UR and RIT students, staff, and faculty). Registration is required.
