Call for papers--NZCCM Annual Conference

Call for Papers

"Parallel Universes: Exploring the collaborative process in
    conservation"
NZCCM National Conference 2011
Carter Observatory
Wellington, New Zealand
November 2-4, 2011

The New Zealand Conservators of Cultural Material will be holding
its next National Conference in Wellington. The theme is one of
collaboration and diversity.

Conservators are often faced with situations that push the
boundaries of traditional practice or even their job descriptions.
The conference aims to explore the diversity of roles conservators
often undertake while working alongside and in conjunction with
related professions. It also seeks to explore how related
professions can at times carry responsibility for the conservation
of cultural material that may expand the notions of traditional
conservation practice.

Proposals are invited for presentations that address the topic of
collaboration and diversity within conservation. We also welcome
papers on conservation treatments, research or preventive approaches
for conservation in general. Artists, curators, registrars and
people in other cultural heritage-related fields are encouraged to
present a paper related to their experience and perception of
conservation. Proposals for workshops may also be considered.

Abstracts up to 300 words in length should be submitted by 31 July
2011 to nzccmconf2011<-a t->gmail< . >com. Speakers will be notified by 31
August 2011 if their submissions have been accepted.

Venue: The Carter Observatory, Wellington Botanical Gardens,
Wellington, New Zealand Located a 2 minute walk from the top of the
Cable Car, and an easy walk along Upland Road, Kelburn.
