--- 2007 ARSC CONFERENCE: CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS --- Proposal deadline: November 11, 2006 ARSC invites submissions of program proposals for its 41st annual conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, May 2-5, 2007. ARSC is dedicated to the preservation and study of sound recordings -- in all genres of music and speech, in all formats, and from all periods -- and welcomes program proposals on any aspect of recorded sound of interest to our community of collectors, historians, musicians, preservationists, and archivists. This year, we particularly encourage presentations that speak to the theme of "Victorians and Their Music Machines," in connection with our all-day tour of the Sanfilippo Victorian Palace. Presentations that address the specialty of our host institution, the Ward Irish Music Archives, or deal with recording activities in the Milwaukee area are also welcome. In general, we seek talks, papers, panel sessions, and demonstrations that are informative and well organized, display a passion about their subjects, and include compelling audio and/or visual content. The deadline for receipt (not postmark) of proposal submissions is November 11, 2006. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by the end of January 2007. According to ARSC policy, presenters must register for the conference.
