Understanding the science of preservation
National Preservation Office Annual Conference
British Library Conference Centre
10 October 2006

Good practice and innovation in preservation and conservation often
originate in scientific research which helps us to understand
materials and the ways they interact with their environment. This
conference describes some recent research themes and explains how
the results are translated into practical ways of caring for
collections. Speakers from the UK, Europe and the United States will
explain how innovation in conservation science can change the way we work
or provide evidence to support strategic developments in caring for
collections.

5. British Library Endangered Archives Programme - call forapplications

Message forwarded from ICA-L, the listserve of the International Council
on Archives. _____Forward header_____
From:  "Collins, Catherine" Catherine.Collins at bl.uk
Date: 08/29/06 02:57pm
Subject: British Library Endangered Archives Programme - call forapplications

The Endangered Archives Programme is funded by the Lisbet Rausing
Charitable Fund, in pursuit of its general aim to support fundamental
research into important issues in the humanities and social science. The
focus of the Programme is on the preservation and copying of
important but vulnerable archives throughout the world.

The Programme is now accepting applications for the next round of
funding.  Detailed information on the timetable, criteria, eligibility and
procedures for applying for a grant is available on the Programme's
website.  The deadline for receipt of preliminary applications is 3
November 2006.

The aim is to safeguard archival material relating to societies usually at
an early stage of development, ie, its normal focus is on the period of a
society's history before 'modernisation' or 'industrialisation' had
generated institutional and record-keeping structures for the systematic
preservation of historical records, very broadly defined.  The relevant
time period will therefore vary according to the society with which we
deal.  The Programme is completely open as to theme and regional
interest, although applications concerned with non-western societies are
particularly welcomed.

The Programme's objectives are achieved principally by making a number of
grants to individual researchers to locate relevant collections, to
arrange their transfer to suitable local archival home where possible, and
to deliver copies to the British Library and a local institution for the
benefit of researchers worldwide.  Pilot projects are particularly
welcomed, to investigate the survival of archival collections on a
particular subject, in a discrete region, or in a specific format, and the
feasibility of their recovery.

For the purposes of the Programme, archives will be interpreted widely to
embrace not only rare printed sources (books, serials, newspapers,
ephemera, etc) and manuscripts in any language, but also visual
materials (drawings, paintings, prints, posters, photographs, etc), audio
or video recordings, digital data, and even other objects and artefacts -
but normally only where they are found in association with a documentary
archive.  In all cases, the validity of archival materials for inclusion
in the Programme will be assessed by their relevance as source materials
for the pre-industrial stage of a society's history.

The Programme does not offer grants to support the normal running
activities of an archive, although the Programme may offer support for
such items as costs directly related to the acceptance of relocated
material.

The Programme is administered by the British Library and applications are
considered in an annual competition by an international panel of
historians and archivists.

41 projects, totalling over one million pounds, have already been
granted awards since the Programme was established two years ago.  For
further details of these awards please visit the Programme's website.

* Publishing models, tools, services and roles

* Personalisation technologies ((e.g. social tagging, folksonomies, RSS,
   microformats)

ABOUT ELPUB

The ELPUB 2007 conference will keep the tradition of the ten previous
international conferences on electronic publishing, held in the United
Kingdom (in 1997 and 2001), Hungary (1998), Sweden (1999), Russia (2000),
the Czech Republic (2002), Portugal (2003), Brazil (2004), Belgium (2005)
and Bulgaria (2006), which is to bring together researchers, lecturers,
librarians, developers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, managers, users and
all those interested on issues regarding electronic publishing in widely
differing contexts. These include the human, cultural, economic, social,
technological, legal, commercial and other relevant aspects that such an
exciting theme encompasses.

Three distinguished features of this conference are: broad scope of topics
which creates a unique atmosphere of active exchange and learning about
various aspects of electronic publishing; combination of general and
technical issues; and a condensed procedure of submission, revision and
publication of proceedings which guarantees presentations of most recent
work.

Conference Location:
Vienna, the capital of Austria, is one of Europe's most fascinating cities
with a rich history and various cultural attractions and reasonable living
costs. The campus of Vienna University of Technology is located near the
historic downtown of Vienna.

Conference Host: Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria

General Chair: Bob Martens <b.martens at tuwien.ac.at>, Vienna University of
Technology, Vienna, Austria

Blue Shield Working Conference
27th & 28th of September 2006
The Hague, Netherlands

Announcement

As National Blue Shield committees, we are all deeply aware of the need to
lessen and help prevent  the destruction of cultural heritage in cases of
natural disaster or human conflict. After the rece nt destruction of
heritage in Iraq, Afghanistan and in countries afflicted by the Tsunami,
we know  that there is a lot to be done - and that international
solidarity is essential.

In 2006, the 10th year of Blue Shield's existence, 11 national Blue Shield
committees have been fou nded, while 16 more will be established in the
foreseeable future. With the extended agreement of t he International
Committee of Blue Shield (ICBS), Blue Shield the Netherlands is organising
a confe rence for representatives of national Blue Shield committees and
related organizations, with the in tention of proceeding on the path paved
by the Piccadilly and Torino declarations.

The conference has several objectives. First we would like to strengthen
the network between the na tional Blue Shield Committees on the one hand
and between Blue Shield and other cultural emergency  assistance
organizations on the other.
Second, we want to improve Blue Shield's international visibility with
institutions and authorities
 that are responsible for cultural heritage. Third, we aim to stimulate
joint operations and the ef
ficient coordination of national initiatives.

We therefore would like to invite you to take this opportunity to exchange
views and experiences an d to devise strategies for meeting requests for
help with adequate responses. Finally, we would lik e to discuss the ways
in which Blue Shield can benefit from the municipality of The Hague's
offer o f practical assistance.

The Prince Claus Fund, www.princeclausfund.org, also celebrating its 10th
anniversary, is organizin g a conference on Cultural Emergency Relief on
the 25th and 26th of September in The Hague. Since t he date and content
have been carefully coordinated with our own programme, we hope to see you
at b oth conferences.
