Please read through the call for papers below, they are calling for history of Jewish printing in America. Here is a great opportunity to spread the word about AJL and Jewish printing history.
The American Printing History Association (APHA) National Conference on October 25-27, 2019 *One Press, Many Hands: Diversity in the History of American Printing* University of Maryland, College Park October 25 to October 27, 2019 Proposals are due by May 17, 2019 CALL FOR PROPOSALS PDF <http://apha.memberlodge.org/resources/Documents/CFP_forAPHA2019conf.pdf> <http://printinghistory.org/> APHA welcomes research papers, panels, roundtables, or workshops covering diversity in the history of American printing. APHA’s 2019 conference, *One Press, Many Hands*, intends to shed light on the rich history of printing and publishing in America from diverse groups. Generations of past scholars in the field have devoted their research to studies rooted in Eurocentric and Anglo-American histories of printing. However, as the United States becomes increasingly diverse communities of scholarship have sought to engage with issues that have arisen from the transformation in our national demographic makeup. We invite contributions from members of both traditional and emerging communities of scholarship that center on book and printing history, the book arts, bibliographic studies, print culture studies, LGBTQ+ and ethnic studies and the intersections that exist between them. We invite researchers to explore the history of printing among marginalized and underrepresented minority groups through a critical lens. This includes Asian, Black/African American, disability, feminist, immigrant, indigenous, Jewish, Latinx, LGBTQ+, Muslim, refugee, and other communities that collectively help to make up the diverse fabric of American society. The scope is expansive, encompassing any aspect of book/periodical/ephemera production (typography, papermaking, binding, small press, etc.), printing, printmaking, and graphic design based in North America, South America, the Caribbean, or the Pacific Islands.
