Call for papers

Symposium

"From Generation to Generation: Sharing Knowledge, Connecting
    People"
International Association for Book and Paper Conservators (IADA)
Oslo, Norway
3-5 May 2017

The deadline for submission of papers is 15 August 2016

We are delighted to invite you to send paper proposals for the next
IADA Symposium "From Generation to Generation: Sharing Knowledge,
Connecting People" to be held from May 3-5, 2017 in Oslo (Norway) at
the Oslo Konserthus.  2017 will be the 60th anniversary of the
founding of the German association called ADA, which 10 years later
became the international body named IADA.  We would like to take
this opportunity to show how knowledge and experience are shared and
transferred from one generation to another, and highlight the
importance of preserving and publishing knowledge.  In 60 years much
has changed in the field; new technologies have been established and
traditional techniques have been augmented.  Since it is paramount
for all to stay up-to-date, we will make sharing and preserving
everything from the latest advances to the history of conservation
the key topic at this symposium.

IADA welcomes proposals that cover, but are not confined to, the
following topics:

    Old and new techniques, past and current practices: their use,
    reinvention or adaptation

    Education: how did education change over the years?  What is the
    importance of an older generation in new programmes and in the
    function of internships

    Publishing: the role of publishing in the book and paper
    conservation world, how it is perceived/valued (or not) by other
    actors in the field and how did it evolve over the years?

    Master-Apprentice: the relationship between master and
    apprentice now and then, the projects undertaken in
    collaboration or as teaching experiences

    Meeting places for book and paper conservators (conferences, new
    platforms, forums, Facebook pages, mailing lists): where
    generations meet (or don't meet) and creating new platforms to
    exchange

    Preserving knowledge: conducting interviews with former
    conservators, sharing their knowledge and experience,
    identifying the different schools of theory and practice across
    generations and countries and the milestones of our profession

We also invite presentations on recent research, on-going projects
and ideas for the future.

Submissions: Authors interested in presenting a paper should submit
an abstract in English (250 words maximum) by 15 August 2016.  All
