Over the next decade SHARP should expand and diversify its membership base. We should particularly reach out to book historians in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Specific projects might include supporting the organization of local book historical societies in that part of the world. We could underwrite the translation of non-Western scholarship into English, and Anglophone scholarship into non-Western languages. And we should aim to hold at least one SHARP annual conference outside the "First World."
