David Fernández on independent publishers in Latin America
About this Event

David Fernández, Head of the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections at the University of Toronto’s Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, will survey how Latin America’s independent publishers have formed alternative book cultures in the past 30 years. From Mexico City to Buenos Aires, wide arrays of books circulate in fairs and populate catalogues created by and for an expanding community of publishers, editors, translators, printers, book artists, designers, readers, and collectors. Fernández will consider the role of collectors and the practice of collecting in the field, as new ways of making and collecting books form part of personal and professional projects. Fernández focuses on the history of the book in Latin America from the sixteenth century to the present, with a special interest in queer bibliography and book collecting.

David Fernández is also an instructor for the University of Toronto’s Book History and Print Culture Program, teaching various aspects of rare book and special collections librarianship.



Registration

If you are a Grolier Club member, please register yourself and your guests via the Club website. Do not register via Eventbrite.

Support

We appreciate your interest in the Grolier Club’s programming on the art and history of the book. For over 130 years we have offered our exhibitions and lectures to the public, free of charge. If you have enjoyed these offerings, and would like to support that tradition, and help ensure that it continues, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Grolier Club.

Accessibility

An ADA-compliant lift from street level to the lobby is available to anyone with mobility issues. All desk staff should be ready and able to assist you in operating the lift, with or without advance notice.

A “T-Coil” assisted listening system is available to anyone attending a lecture in the Exhibition Hall. Visitors with hearing aids should turn their devices to the “T” setting in order to access the system; visitors without hearing aids may request a “loop receiver” with earphones.

Environment

The temperature and humidity in the exhibition hall are tightly controlled for the sake of the valuable items on display, and this may cause the room to feel chilly, particularly in warmer weather, to those coming in from outside. Members and visitors are advised to bring a light wrap when visiting an exhibition, or attending an event in the hall.
