Please join us May 28-May 31, 2014 for the Book and Paper Group
(BPG) session of the 42nd American Institute for Conservation of
Historic and Artistic Works (AIC) Annual Meeting in San Francisco,
which will include formal presentations, an Art on Paper Discussion
Group, a Library Collections Conservation Discussion Group, another
engaging tips session, the BPG business meeting, and an evening
reception.

BPG welcomes abstracts related, but not limited, to the overall 2014
AIC meeting theme, "Conscientious Conservation: Sustainable Choices
in Collection Care." Abstracts for the BPG session addressing any
and all aspects of the conservation of archival materials, art on
paper, bound volumes, manuscripts, and similar materials will be
considered.

For more details, please see

The 2014 theme encompasses many areas for exploration during the BPG
session, such as: the impact of environmental sustainability on
decision making; the increasing role of preventive conservation; the
effects of architectural design on preservation needs; new
developments in collections care and housing; new treatment
techniques that improve on traditional methods; and the impact of
digitization efforts on conservation activities.

Abstracts for formal presentations in the BPG session may be
submitted by current BPG members, other Specialty Group members, and
related professionals. Presentations will be 20-25 minutes in length
with a standard 5-10 minute question-and-answer period. Please note
that speakers are not compensated and must register for the meeting
(single day registration is available).

BPG will continue to follow the AIC system, which allows authors to
prioritize their application to participate in one of the three
session types: All-Attendee (General), Specialty Group, or Poster.
If you would like to submit an abstract to BPG you must identify the
Book and Paper Group session as one of your choices.

Abstracts may be submitted until Friday September 13, 2013 to Ruth
Seyler, AIC Membership and Meetings Director, at
rseyler<-at->conservation-us<.>org. Applicants should follow all abstract
submission guidelines on the AIC website.

Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.
