--- 2008 ARSC CONFERENCE: CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS --- Proposal deadline: September 10, 2007 ARSC invites submissions of program proposals for its 42nd annual conference in Palo Alto, California, March 26-29, 2008. 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. 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. For the 2008 conference, we especially welcome presentations that showcase Stanford University and the greater Bay Area. The deadline for receipt (not postmark) of proposal submissions is September 10, 2007. Proposals will be acknowledged by e-mail. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by November 30, 2007. According to ARSC policy, presenters must register for the conference.
