The A.S.W. Rosenbach Lectures are an endowed lectureship in bibliography established in 1928 by rare-book and manuscript dealer A. S. W. Rosenbach at the University of Pennsylvania. [1]

The Rosenbach Lectures are the longest continuing series of bibliographical lectureships in the United States. Individuals appointed as Rosenbach Fellows present three lectures over several weeks.[2]

The 1971 A.S.W. Rosenbach Fellowship in Bibliography marked the Theodore Dreiser Centenary.[3]

The 1974 A.S.W. Rosenbach Fellowship in Bibliography was devoted to the fifth annual meeting of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies."[4]

The university's Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center in collaboration with their Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts are the current location of the lectures.
