==Rebecca Clarke Society==
The Rebecca Clarke Society was established in September 2000 to promote performance, scholarship, and awareness of the works of Rebecca Clarke. Founded by [[musicologist]]s Liane Curtis and [[Jessie Ann Owens]] and based in the Women's Studies Research Center at [[Brandeis University]], the Society has promoted recording and scholarship of Clarke's work, including several world premiere performances, recordings of unpublished material, and numerous journal publications.<ref name="rcs">{{cite web|title=About the Rebecca Clarke Society|url=http://www.rebeccaclarke.org/aboutRCS.html|publisher=Rebecca Clarke Society|accessdate=1 December 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100923132358/http://www.rebeccaclarke.org/aboutRCS.html |archivedate=23 September 2010}}</ref>

The Society made available previously unpublished compositions from Clarke's estate. "Binnorie", a twelve-minute song based on [[Celt]]ic folklore, was discovered in 1997, and not premiered until 2001. Over 25 previously unknown works have been published since the establishment of the Society. Several of Clarke's chamber works, including the expansive ''Rhapsody'' for cello and piano, and ''Cortège'' for solo piano (1930), dedicated to [[William Busch]] and premiered by him, were first recorded in 2000 on the Dutton label, using material from the Clarke estate. In 2002, the Society organised and sponsored the world premieres of the 1907 and 1909 violin sonatas.<ref name="news">{{cite web|title=News and Events|url=http://www.rebeccaclarke.org/news.html|publisher=Rebecca Clarke Society|accessdate=1 December 2010|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101109012123/http://www.rebeccaclarke.org/news.html |archivedate=9 November 2010}}</ref>

The head of the Rebecca Clarke Society, Liane Curtis, is the editor of ''A Rebecca Clarke Reader'', originally published by Indiana University Press in 2004. The book was withdrawn from circulation by the publisher following complaints from the current manager of Clarke's estate about the quotation of unpublished examples from Clarke's writings.<ref name="byrne">{{cite news|author=Byrne, Richard|title=Silent Treatment|url=http://chronicle.com/article/Silent-Treatment/36247|accessdate=1 December 2010|newspaper=The Chronicle of Higher Education|date=16 July 2004}}</ref> However, the ''Reader'' has since been reissued by the Rebecca Clarke Society itself.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rebeccaclarke.org/the-rebecca-clarke-reader-2/ |title=A Rebecca Clarke Reader |publisher=Rebecca Clarke Society |accessdate=19 June 2012 }}</ref>
