A.S.W. Rosenbach Lectures in Bibliography

The A.S.W. Rosenbach Lectures are an endowed lectureship in bibliography established in 1928 by rare-book and manuscript dealer A. S. W. Rosenbach at the University of Pennsylvania.

The Rosenbach Lectures are the longest continuing series of bibliographical lectureships in the United States. Individuals appointed as Rosenbach Fellows present three lectures over several weeks.

The 1971 A.S.W. Rosenbach Fellowship in Bibliography marked the Theodore Dreiser Centenary.

The 1974 A.S.W. Rosenbach Fellowship in Bibliography was devoted to the fifth annual meeting of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies."

The university's Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center in collaboration with their Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts are the current location of the lectures.
