Call For Papers
General Session of AIC Annual Meeting
Portland, Oregon
June 9-14, 2004

"Towards a Clean Slate: Current Thoughts on the Responsibility,
Philosophy, Practices and Controversies of Cleaning Cultural
Property"

To clean? Not to clean? How to clean? How much to clean? Why to
clean? Those are questions... which every conservator, regardless of
specialty, faces. In recent years, a number of cleaning techniques
have been developed or adapted by conservators. It is for these
reasons that the General Session of the 2004 AIC Meeting will look
at the cleaning of works of art, artifacts, and monuments from many
perspectives.

We welcome papers on issues  related to:

    *   the philosophy and ethics of cleaning
    *   the history of cleaning
    *   the aesthetics of cleaning
    *   the mechanics of cleaning

AIC members interested in presenting papers during the General
Session of the 2004 Meeting which will be held in Portland, Oregon-
should send an abstract of no more than 500 words to General Session
Co-Chairs
