Administrative history
The Bibliographical Society of Canada/La Société bibliographique du Canada was formed in the late 1940's with the following objectives: to promote bibliographic publications; to encourage the preservation and extend the knowledge of printed works and manuscripts; to facilitate the exchange of information concerning rare books.
In 1949 the Society began publication of a series of reprints and facsimilies and in 1955 a semi-annual newsletter. The Society holds an annual meeting, usually in conjunction with the Canadian Library Association.
