WAAC Annual Meeting

The 2006 WAAC Annual Meeting will be held in the auditorium of the
Center for Creative Photography (CCP) on the campus of the
University of Arizona, which is in central Tucson. Talks will be
held all day Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 21-22, 2006; there will be an
opening reception at the Arizona State Museum (also on the campus)
the evening of Friday October 20, 2006. A tour of the Western
Archaeological and Conservation Center of the National Park Service
has been arranged for that Friday afternoon; the tour is free but
registration is required due to limited space. Also of note is the
workshop Spot Tests for Materials Characterization, co-sponsored by
WAAC and AIC, which will be held in Tucson October 17-20, 2006, very
convenient to the meeting. Registration and information materials
for both the meeting and the Spot Tests Workshop can be found

Organizers of the meeting also recognize there is a substantial
number of conservators who have personal or professional ties to
Tucson. Anyone in this category is encouraged to submit ideas for a
"best of Tucson" list to be distributed at the meeting. Send your
thoughts on best attraction, bookstore, coffee shop, record store,
place to see the sunset, etc. to
