Information for Subscribers
This electronic discussion list, TexCons, has been developed to
expedite communication among textile conservators within the textile
community worldwide.
TexCons is an open un-moderated discussion list. The list
co-owners are
Mary W. Ballard <ballardm@scmre.si.edu> in Washington, D.C. and
S. Gail Niinimaa <niinimaa@nucleus.com> in Calgary, Alberta
The primary purpose of TexCons is to serve as a discussion forum
to help colleagues with questions/answers on specific problems,
treatment materials, techniques, methods, and other specific
problems or queries relating to textile conservation. For example,
some subjects appropriate to the TexCons discussion and exchange
are:
- Health and safety information, especially product hazards and
sources for information on containing/handling hazards.
- Suppliers/products, but not advertisements. Suppliers should
post only if they are answering an inquiry about a particular
product.
- Literature citations that are of interest to textile
conservators, particularly those in non-conservation journals.
- Exhibition announcements with dates, museum hours, catalogues
(with price and currencies, shipping/handling).
- Courses, symposia, and seminar announcements. Pertinent
information should include: dates, location, topics,
sponsoring organization, address, telephone and FAX numbers,
whom to contact.
- Hotels (with room rates), travel bargains, and other travel
services, preferably vetted by course/symposia /seminar
announcers. Roommate searches to defray costs of attending
such a conference or seminar.
- Position and intern announcements, related to the Textile
Conservation profession.
- Other topics that affect communication among textile
conservators and the textile conservation profession i.e.
address and position changes, deaths, relocation, etc.
Matters of a personal nature should not be distributed through
this forum.
