Western Museum Association Pre-conference session

The Bishop Museum, in conjunction with the Western Museum Association, is
sponsoring a pre-conference session entitled "Cultural Considerations in
the Collection Care And Conservation of Ethnographic Objects/Organic
Materials." The pre-conference will be held 21 September, 1994, in Honolulu,
Hawaii.

We are interested in people who could give talks and participate in a
panel discussion on any of the following topics:

1.  The importance of preventative conservation.
2.  Examples of cultural and ethnographic considerations in specific
    conservation treatments.
3.  Examples of solutions to the storage needs of a variety of objects.
4.  Public access vs. conservation considerations.
5.  An example or examples of collaboration between a representative of a
    local cultural group and a conservator responsible for the preservation
    of their cultural artifacts.
