The Bibliographical Society of UVA published the first volume of its annual journal, Papers of the Bibliographical Society, in 1948. The publication was later named, Studies in Bibliography, beginning with Volume II in 1949. The journal encompassed a diverse range of topics that related to bibliographical study.
