Paul Shaw will present a short history of calligraphy in the United States from the beginning of the 20th century until the founding of the Society of Scribes in 1974. His presentation will be followed by a conversation about the Donald Jackson workshop that jump-started the Society and the early years of the group in the 1970s. The conversationalists will be Nancy Corbin, Marcy Robinson, and Ina Saltz. It is expected that several founding members of the Society will be present in the audience and willing to share their memories of the early days.
