It is also, frankly, one of the least understood. First established in 1557 by the London Stationers’ Company to record the publishing rights of its members and cited in Britain’s first copyright statute in 1710, it survives in an almost unbroken sequence from 1557 until 1924. It played a crucial role in the development of Anglo-American copyright.</span></em></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em><span> </span></em></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em><span>This presentation will provide an account of the development of the Stationers’ Register during the early modern period, describing its purpose, its procedures, and its many idiosyncrasies. It will also explain how a new digital project, ‘Stationers’ Register Online’, aims to transform our understanding of how early modern ‘copyright’ worked by creating the first publicly available database of the copy-entries recorded in the Stationers’ Register. </span></em></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">  </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">Ian Gadd is a Professor of English Literature at Bath Spa University, and the Academic Director of the Global Academy of Liberal Arts (GALA), an international network of universities founded by Bath Spa in 2014.
