ARSC invites proposals for presentations at its 42nd annual conference, to
be held March 26-29 2008 on the campus of Stanford University near Palo
Alto, California.

 

ARSC is dedicated to preserving and studying sound recordings in all genres
of music, speech, and sound - in all formats and from all periods.  ARSC
welcomes presentations on all aspects of recorded sound of interest to our
community of collectors, historians, musicians, preservationists, and
archivists.  In general, we seek demonstrations, papers, and panels that are
informative and well organized, display a passion about their subjects, and
include compelling audio and/or visual content.  In 2008, we especially
welcome presentations that showcase Stanford University and the greater Bay
Area.

 

Presentation proposals are due September 10, 2007.  Receipt will be
acknowledged by e-mail, and presenters will be notified of acceptance by
November 30, 2007.
