Subject: Conservation Science Annual
November 2011 brings the 17th annual Conservation Science Annual symposium, CSA 2011 within the annual international analytical chemistry convention, the Eastern Analytical Symposium. Please visit: <URL:http://www.eas.org> EAS 2011's Preliminary Program is accessible at: <URL:http://www.eas.org/askeas/JunePrelim.pdf> See page 6 for a list of thirty 2011 EAS Conferences-in-Miniature, from "Art Conservation," (the Conservation Science Annual sessions), to Surface Analysis. Consider staying beyond the CSA dates, to take advantage of EAS' rich offerings. Search on "cultural heritage" (and see below) for our three 2011 Conservation Science Annual's sessions, Monday and Tuesday. For registrant logistics, see pages 85, 86 and 87 on regional transportation and local housing for CSA at EAS. All CSA and EAS sessions are held in the Somerset, NJ, USA DoubleTree Hotel.
