Call for presenters
AIC Book and Paper Group
Archives Conservation Discussion Group (ACDG)

The Archives Conservation Discussion Group (ACDG) of the AIC Book
and Paper Group is pleased to announce the 2011 session topic:

Digitization and Its Effect on Conservation Treatment Decisions: How
has wide-spread digitizing of collections changed our approach to
treatment?

In line with this year's AIC theme: ETHOS, LOGOS, PATHOS: ethical
principles and critical thinking in conservation, the ACDG aims to
examine the impact of providing digital collections in museums and
libraries, and their conservation implications.

The co-chairs are seeking individuals to present on topics such as:

    How are conservators balancing ethical concerns, especially as
    dictated by the AIC Code of Ethics, with increased demand from
    digital projects?

    How are conservators keeping pace with large-scale or fast-paced
    digitizing projects, while maintaining standards?

    What impact has limiting access to original materials by
    providing digital surrogates had on treatment decisions?

Speakers are asked to prepare a ten to fifteen minute presentation
and provide a one-page handout for reference and Web-posting.

If you are interested in sharing your insight and experiences with
how digital projects have affected your treatment decisions, please
contact us by December 17, 2010 at acdg.chair<-at->gmail<.>com with a short
description of your project.
