MICAT-L - Musical Instrument Conservation and Technology

    MICAT-L on mailserv [at] nrm__se

    The Musical Instrument Conservation and Technology Distribution
    List, MICAT-L, is intended to provide a forum for the discussion of
    matters of joint interest to the fields of objects conservation and
    musical instrument technology.

    Material concerning techniques of conservation, restoration,
    scientific examination, documentation, etc., which can be applied to
    musical instruments is suitable for posting to this list. Similarly
    appropriate is material concerning the technology of musical
    instruments, including their manufacture, which is of potential use
    in conservation and restoration. Contributions intended to establish
    contact within the professional community are also welcome.

    The list is open to public subscription but its contents will be
    moderated. Material describing procedures which would imperil the
    safety of an object as judged in terms of accepted museum practice
    will be rejected, as will contributions of potential interest to
    musical instrument makers and musicians but which lack applicability
    to conservation or restoration. The degree of latitude applied to
    the latter consideration will depend on the volume of traffic
    otherwise produced by the list.
