The final programme for this year's Society of Archivists/Archives
and Records Association Conservation Conference is now available to
view at

    <URL:http://www.archives.org.uk>

We have made every effort to keep the costs low this year. As an
alternative to the full conference package, the day rate for
attendance may be a more attractive option for some. We can also
take your booking right up to a couple of days before conference
begins. We look forward to seeing you in Manchester. Here are some
