[padg] ACDG 2009 Call for Presenters

[<laura.miller@xxxxxxxx>]

 The Archives Conservation Discussion Group (ACDG) of the AIC Book and 
 Paper Group is pleased to announce the 2009 session topic:
 Conservation and Preservation approaches for stabilizing large scale
collections.

 The theme is complimentary to the Library Collections Conservation Discussion
Group (LCCDG)
 theme of LCCDG 2.0-New Directions, which will highlight advances in item-level
treatment 
 techniques. ACDG will look at the same treatment advances applied more 
 broadly to large scale collections such as triage treatment and 
 preparation of  collections for a move, digitization project, or 
 general cataloging and processing. The co-chairs are seeking 
 individuals to present on all types of large scale conservation 
 efforts of paper-based collections in museums or libraries. Speakers 
 are asked to prepare a ten to fifteen minute presentation, and provide 
 a one-page handout for reference and web-posting.

 If you have experience working on innovative collections-based 
 approaches to treatment or housing and are interested in 
 participating, please contact us at acdg.chair@xxxxxxxxx with a short 
 description of your project by January 16, 2009.
