Call for papers--AIC Textile Specialty Group

AIC's Textile Specialty Group is in the process of planning our
program for the 2005 AIC Annual Meeting.  We welcome your ideas on
what you would like to hear at the meeting.  The theme for the
general session is "documentation". Consider how documentation
affects your work with textiles: How do you document large or very
complex objects? How do you coordinate your documentation when
working on an interdisciplinary project?  Have you figured out a way
to do your documentation more permanently/better/faster/cheaper?  Do
you have a case study where previous documentation (or lack thereof)
played a significant role in the project?

As always, papers on any textile topic are also welcome. In addition
to documentation, some specific themes we are considering are:
establishing a private practice or a new lab (things you wish you
knew first), and the interdisciplinary development of enclosures or
mounts for objects with textile components.

We are also considering a quick tips session, where you can share
your latest "eureka!" moment in a brief, informal way. Please send
your ideas, abstracts and questions to
