The Big Archive: Art from Bureaucracy
AU$30.00 Read MoreAdd to cartSven Spieker
Cambridge and London: The MIT Press, 2008.“The typewriter, the card index, and the filing cabinet: these are technologies and modalities of the archive. To the bureaucrat, archives contain little more than garbage, paperwork no longer needed; to the historian, on the other hand, the archive’s content stands as a quasi-objective correlative of the “living” past. Twentieth-century art made use of the archive in a variety of ways–from what Spieker calls Marcel Duchamp’s “anemic archive” of readymades and El Lissitzky’s Demonstration Rooms to the compilations of photographs made by such postwar artists as Susan Hiller and Gerhard Richter. In The Big Archive, Sven Spieker investigates the archive–as both bureaucratic institution and index of evolving attitudes toward contingent time in science and art–and finds it to be a crucible of twentieth-century modernism.” (publisher’s blurb)

Awakening a Curate’s Library: The Rev. William Arderne Shoults (1839-1887): His Life, His Book Collection, and his Legacy to New Zealand
AU$65.00 Read MoreAdd to cartDonald Jackson Kerr
: The Bibliographical Society of Australia and New Zealand, 2022.“This book is the first to provide an account of the life of Rev. William Arderne Shoults (1839-1887) and his book collecting. It is also the first detailed examination of a true survivor, his book collection of some 5600 items, including medieval manuscripts, incunables, books on ecclesiastical history and primitive church rites and rituals, philology, bibliography, science, travel, and Arabic and Persian texts. The contents cover Shoults’s early years at St. John’s College, Cambridge University, his work in some of the poorer ritualistic parishes of London, his association with the Rev. Joseph Leycester Lyne (1837-1908), the controversial, enthusiastic, revivalist known as ‘Father Ignatius’, his work on Latin hymns, his marriage, and his travel overseas, which included visiting the Vatican Library. After Shoults’s death at 48, his collection was gifted to Selwyn College, Dunedin, arriving in New Zealand in 1893. The survival of this collection is remarkable and it exists as a fine example of what a nineteenth-century curate could collect.” (publisher’s blurb)

Collation, Reference Notation & Statement of Signing: A Workbook
AU$30.00 Read MoreAdd to cartCarlo Dumontet
Canberra: The Bibliographical Society of Australia and New Zealand, 2024.“This workbook discusses the various techniques which can be employed in book collation writing in order to provide readers with the capacity to construct collations and to interpret published ones. W.W. Greg’s and Fredson Bowers’s approach is discussed in depth, together with Thomas Tanselle’s view on how to handle inserted leaves. Upon this Greg-Bowers-Tanselle bedrock other possible solutions are also discussed. The exposition relies on a large number of examples and also on some exercises in order to render this workbook as practical a tool as possible. This workbook will be an invaluable guide for students of bibliography, early printed books cataloguers, and booksellers, but it is hoped that all those engaged in collation-writing may find it a useful reference tool.” (publisher’s blurb)
