Call for papers--ICOM

As many of you may know the 18th General Conference of ICOM will be
held in Melbourne, Australia, 10-16 October 1998.

The ICOM Conservation Committee organisers invite conservators or
those in the conservation field to submit proposals for papers for
presentation at a half-day conservation session addressing the theme
of the conference, 'Museums and Cultural Diversity--Ancient
cultures, New Worlds.' A synopsis for your paper addressing the
theme of the conference is required by May 15, 1998. Please email,
fax, or post to the contact person listed below. Please note that
none of the papers from any sessions will be published.

A joint session on Conservation Training is planned, as well as a
debate devoted to the topic 'Tourism Won't Be Sustained Unless
Conservation Programs are Maintained.'  Joint sessions and the
debate require discussion only as contributions.

For those who wish to contribute individual technical papers, a
half-day Special Interest Group (SIG) session has been proposed.
Should you wish to contribute a paper to this session please contact
your SIG coordinator directly.

All sessions will be simultaneously translated in French.

If you feel that your contribution fits within the scope of any of
these program activities please contact the conservation session
organisers below. Correspondence with the organising committee in
French in welcomed.
