The Call for Papers for the 12th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Textual Scholarship has been extended to 30 June 2015. See the original post here.
After thirty years at UNSW Canberra at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Professor Paul Eggert has taken up the Martin J. Svaglic Endowed Chair in Textual Studies at Loyola University in Chicago.

Lawrence and Joseph Conrad.
This will be a day of scholarship and reminiscence, lively debate and long memories, to reflect Paul’s expansive interests, productive networks and collegial collaboration across the decades.
Speakers will address topics congruent with Paul’s broad interests and bring highlights of working with Paul to share with an appreciative audience, in formal and informal ways.

The London Intelligencer, a news-sheet from the Emmerson Collection (State Library of Victoria)
Members who read the obituary of long-time BSANZ member John McLaren Emmerson in the last Broadsheet, written by Wallace Kirsop, may be interested in a radio interview with Des Cowley on John’s splendid donation of most of his 17th century book collection to the State Library of Victoria. The interview runs about 13 minutes and is well worth settling down to with a cup of tea in hand. You can find it at:
ABC.net.au has featured several highlights of the Emmerson collection, which includes rare first-hand accounts of the execution of King Charles I; the collected writings of King James I, bound and inscribed for his son Charles; and the first illustrated edition (1688) of Milton’s Paradise Lost, among many other gems sure to pique the interests of Society members and the general public alike.
