Papers are invited on all subjects.  There will be some effort to group
papers around the problems/dilemmas faced when treating (or not
treating) synthetic materials or multi-media objects.  The Henry Ford
Museum is interested in discussing problems dealing with large and
varied objects especially modern ones.  So papers dealing with either of
these topics will be greatly appreciated.  If you are interested in
giving a talk please contact Nicola Longford as soon as possible:
