ABOUT TERRY'S WORK
Terry Belanger is a historian, collector, and protector of one of humankind’s greatest inventions: the book. To support the study of the book’s long history, Belanger created a teaching and archive facility, the Rare Book School (RBS), in 1983 as part of Columbia University’s School of Library Service; in 1992, he moved it to its current home at the University of Virginia. The RBS functions as an independent, non-profit institute devoted to the histories of manuscripts, print, electronic text, and everything in between. It transcends the limitations of traditional degree programs by making its wide-ranging offerings available to a broad range of professionals interested in studying and preserving these cultural artifacts; historians, literary scholars, librarians, conservators, collectors, and book artists attend RBS courses each year. In the classroom, Belanger uses original tools and materials to provide students with hands-on experience and to emphasize the relationship between the physical and intellectual structure of the book. He assiduously collects items related to bookmaking, from the remains of incunabula (the first printed books of the fifteenth century) and their handwritten precursors to books demonstrating the range of bindings and structures, to samples of materials from which books have been constructed. With thousands of former students currently at work in the field and offshoots of his programs in California, France, Australia, and New Zealand, Belanger is making the world a more secure place for the irreplaceable legacy of the book.

BIOGRAPHY
Terry Belanger received a B.A. (1963) from Haverford College and an M.A. (1964) and Ph.D. (1970) from Columbia University. He was on the faculty of the School of Library Service at Columbia University (1971-1992), where he served as assistant dean (1980-86). He established the Book Arts Press (1971) at Columbia as a bibliographical laboratory for the training of rare book and special collections librarians and antiquarian booksellers. In 1983, he instituted the Rare Book School, also at Columbia. Belanger moved both the Book Arts Press and Rare Book School to the University of Virginia in 1992, where he now holds the position of University Professor and Honorary Curator of Special Collections.

关于泰瑞的工作
特里-贝朗格是一位历史学家、收藏家，也是人类最伟大的发明之一：书籍的保护者。为了支持对图书悠久历史的研究，贝朗格于1983年创建了一个教学和档案设施--珍稀图书学院（RBS），作为哥伦比亚大学图书馆服务学院的一部分；1992年，他将其迁至弗吉尼亚大学的现址。RBS作为一个独立的、非营利性的机构，致力于研究手稿、印刷品、电子文本以及两者之间的一切历史。它超越了传统学位课程的限制，将其广泛的课程提供给对研究和保护这些文化艺术品感兴趣的广泛的专业人士；历史学家、文学学者、图书馆管理员、保护者、收藏家和书籍艺术家每年都参加RBS的课程。在课堂上，贝朗格使用原始工具和材料为学生提供实践经验，并强调书籍的物理和知识结构之间的关系。他孜孜不倦地收集与图书制作有关的物品，从incunabula（十五世纪的第一本印刷书）的遗迹和它们的手写先例，到展示各种装订和结构的书籍，再到构建书籍的材料样本。目前有数千名前学生在该领域工作，他的项目在加利福尼亚、法国、澳大利亚和新西兰都有分支，贝朗格正在使世界成为一个对图书这一不可替代的遗产更加安全的地方。
