New list: ICOM-CC

The following is a copy of the information file about the latest
addition to the family of ICOM e-mail distribution lists, and may be
of interest to some of Cons DistList's subscribers.

    ICOM-CC is the International  Conservation Committee of the
    International Council of Museums (ICOM). ICOM-CC organizes more
    than 1200 professionals concerned with the museum world and the
    conservation of objects. It has members from countries on every
    continent.

    Twenty-four Working Groups are the backbone of the Committee.
    They may deal with:

    *   scientific investigations into objects of significance to
        cultural and natural history.

    *   optimizing solutions to conservation problems,

    *   developing standard techniques and manuals,

    *   planning disaster management and preventive conservation.

    The  Working Groups present and discuss their results at
    Triennial Meetings.

    The ICOM-CC distribution list is intended to serve as an
    electronic forum for the discussion of all issues within the
    Committee's field of concern. It will additionally  serve as a
    medium for the  exploration of applications of computerized
    networking  technologies to the conservation profession. List
    members  are encouraged to participate by posting information
    and queries on all subjects of concern to their discipline.
    Official announcements may also be posted by the ICOM
    Conservation Committee Board and Working Groups.

    The list is open for public subscription. However, only
    registered members of the ICOM Conservation Committee may submit
    contributions for posting to it. If you wish to join the ICOM-CC
