Call for papers--CAC Annual Conference

30th Annual CAC Conference and Workshop
Theme: Unusual materials, unconventional treatments
Quebec City, Canada
May 25-30, 2004

The Canadian Association for Conservation of Cultural Property is
pleased to invite you to its 30th Annual Conference and Workshop in
Quebec City, Canada, from May 25-30, 2004
<URL:http://www.cac-accr.ca/econf.html> . The Workshop will be held
at the Musee national des beaux-arts du Quebec, followed by the
Conference at the Musee de la civilisation. Both events will offer
simultaneous translation in English and French.

This two-day workshop will be held from May 25-27, 2004 and will
provide a forum where museum professionals, conservators and
educators can share ideas and learn about treatments that explore
uncharted territories. The goal of this workshop is to draw
information from past experiences that required unconventional
treatment solutions or new approaches for packing, display, and
storage of objects or works of art. Workshop content will be
delivered as case studies, group-discussions and panel
presentations.

Speakers interested in presenting are invited to contact:

    Michele Lepage
