Call for papers--AIC Book and Paper Group, ACDG

ACDG 2009 Call for Presenters

The Archives Conservation Discussion Group (ACDG) of the AIC Book
and Paper Group is pleased to announce the 2009 session topic:

    Conservation and Preservation approaches for stabilizing large
    scale collections

The theme is complimentary to the Library Collections Conservation
Discussion Group (LCCDG) theme of LCCDG 2.0-New Directions, which
will highlight advances in item-level treatment techniques. ACDG
will look at the same treatment advances applied more broadly to
large scale collections such as triage treatment and preparation of
collections for a move, digitization project, or general cataloging
and processing. The co-chairs are seeking individuals to present on
all types of large scale conservation efforts of paper-based
collections in museums or libraries. Speakers are asked to prepare a
ten to fifteen minute presentation, and provide a one-page handout
for reference and web-posting.

If you have experience working on innovative collections-based
approaches to treatment or housing and are interested in
participating, please contact us at acdg.chair<-a t->gmail< . >com with a
short description of your project by January 16, 2009.
