The following details the Australian Scholarly Editions Centre's involvement with organised events.

The Centre's most recent conference was BOOKS & EMPIRE in 2003. Click here for the program. A selection of papers appeared in a double-issue of the Bibliographical Society of Australia and New Zealand Bulletin in 2004. This conference was the second of a planned three Southern Hemisphere conferences on the Imperial history of the book. The first was in Grahamstown, South Africa. The third, 'Paradise', was held in Wellington, New Zealand, 27-30 January 2005.



The Centre held a joint conference with the Humanities Research Centre of the Australian National University, The 4Rs, in April 1994. Since then, the Director has co-edited a volume of selected papers with Margaret Sankey (French, Sydney Univ.) who convened an editing conference for ASPACLS at Sydney in 1993. Two papers come from that conference; the remainder from the 4Rs. The volume, The Editorial Gaze, was published by Garland Press (New York, 1998).



A session on the Academy Editions series was held at the annual conferences of ASPACLS in 1993, the Association for the Study of Australian Literature in 1994, and the BSANZ in 1995. Papers by editors were given in each case.



The Centre co-sponsored the annual History of the Book in Australia conferences 1996-98 in Sydney.



The Centre initiated and supported the Canberra Book History group, established in 1994, and that met for two or three years.



The Centre organised a 5-day workshop, in December 1996 at ADFA on electronic editing given by Peter Robinson of the Oxford University Computing Centre. Another workshop relating to a Dante electronic-commedia project was organised in 1998.
