We will be welcoming Ian Gadd for a talk entitled: “<span>‘Entered for his copy’: creating Stationers’ Register
Online.</span>”<b> </b>Ian<span style="color:black"> </span>writes:<i><br>
<br>
</i><i><span>The Stationers’ Register is one of the most consulted
archival documents of the early modern period. 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></span></span></i></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><i><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></span></span></i></span></font></p>
