[Consdistlist] *Time Sensitive* Reminder! May 11, 2018 Call for Papers and Posters, 12th NATCC, Ottawa-Gatineau, Canada

[Giuntini, Christine]

REMINDER! May 11, 2018 Deadline! CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS
Lessons Learned -Textile Conservation - Then and Now 
12th North American Textile Conservation Conference  
Ottawa-Gatineau, Canada 
September 23 - 29, 2019
The twelfth biennial North American Textile Conservation Conference 
(NATCC) will be held in Ottawa, Canada, and will focus on the theme of "Lessons 
Learned - Textile Conservation - Then and Now." The choice of the topic was 
inspired by NATCC's return to the City of Ottawa, venue of our first conference 
in 1997. Analytical studies, conservation protocols, treatments, exhibition 
displays, and materials and techniques have evolved during the past 20+ years, 
often dramatically. We propose to revisit conservation procedures, best 
practices, collaborations, and other preservation guidelines carried out during 
the 1980s through the present. 
Presentations may include, but are not limited to, evolving 
conservation protocols and best practices, including those for treatment, 
storage, travel and display; methodologies for technical analyses, scientific 
and historical research, collaborations among different stakeholders, and other 
topics as they relate to the field of textile conservation of tangible and 
intangible culture. Both successful and unsuccessful "lessons learned" are 
welcome. Specific cases where past treatments, methodologies, and/or 
collaborations are contrasted and reassessed according to contemporary needs 
and approaches, are especially welcome. The following are examples of possible 
subjects:

Conservators, curators, conservation scientists, art historians, 
archaeologists, anthropologists, collection managers, designers, preparators 
and others engaged with these topics are invited to submit proposals for 
presentations. Collaborations among professions are encouraged. Projects 
already presented or published will not be considered and proposed projects 
must be complete by the end of 2018.   
Abstracts for papers and posters may be submitted in English, French, 
or Spanish as a Word document (no PDFs).  Abstracts must have a title, be a 
maximum of 300 words, and accompanied by a short author(s) biography (100 words 
maximum). Title, abstract and biography should be included as a single document 
along with author(s) contact information. Contact information should include: 
name, postal and email addresses, telephone numbers. Abstracts should not 
include images or other attachments.

First Nations, other stakeholders, and the museum or related institutions; and 
how  these changes have impacted assessments of past and present treatments, 
storage, travel and exhibition displays.
* Changes in exhibition procedures and display, especially those that seek to 
minimize environmental impact or produce cost efficiency, such as new sources 
of power, illumination, flexible display systems, innovative or recyclable 
materials and their impact on the works displayed.
* The impact of a changing climate on collections, especially those brought 
about by changes in set points for temperature, relative humidity, and sources 
of illuminance within the museum environment.
* New approaches to Integrated Pest Management.

[Consdistlist] NATCC - Call for new Board Members

[Giuntini, Christine]

Dear Colleagues,

NATCC (North American Textile Conservation Conference) is a not-for-profit 
(501(c)3 organization that was formed to improve the quality of textile 
conservation by sponsoring biennial conferences and publishing the papers from 
those conferences. After our eleventh biennial meeting in Mexico City, we will 
have 2 open positions and are inviting applications from our North American 
colleagues to join the 12-member board of NATCC.

As specified in the NATCC Bylaws, new Directors are elected by a majority of 
the Board to serve a 4-year term. Board members, who must be practicing textile 
conservators, curators, or scientists, are responsible for the organization of 
the biennial conferences. The NATCC Board meets twice per year, once during the 
AIC Annual Meeting and once at another time and place agreed upon by the Board. 
During a biennial conference year, the second meeting generally occurs on the 
day after the conference. The language of business for the Board is English.  
NATCC does not reimburse Board members for travel expenses associated with 
attending Board meetings.

We are especially interested in bringing our meetings to a wider geographic 
area, which requires regional board members to serve as the nucleus for the 
local committee. With that in mind, we would like to hear from our colleagues 
in Canada, the southwest, mid-west, and west coast of the United States, and 
Mexico. Among the qualifications that the NATCC Board is seeking are - a proven 
ability to work collaboratively, fluency in Spanish and/or French, 
South/Central American affiliations, institutional support, and/or previous 
Board experience.

Those interested in serving on this congenial Board should write a letter 
describing their experience, qualification and statement of interest to: Esther 
Méthé, NATCC Secretary, estherme...@gmail.com.  Letters are due by November 
10th, 2017, The Board will announce its decision by December 5th, 2017.

We invite you to contact any current Board member for more information:  Emilia 
Cortes, emilia.cor...@metmuseum.org; Joy 
Gardiner, jgardi...@winterthur.org; Caterina 
Florio, 
caterina.flo...@museedelhistoire.ca;
 Liliana Garcia-Alonso, 
lilianalonsoa...@gmail.com; Christine 
Giuntini, 
christine.giunt...@metmuseum.org; 
Hector Manuel Meneses Lozano, 
hmene...@museotextil.org; Esther Méthé,

jbgcl...@prodigy.net.mx; Sarah Stevens, 
zephyrp...@gmail.com; Howard Sutcliffe, 
rrtextileconservat...@gmail.com; Joel 
Thompson, jthomp...@mfa.org.

Please share this message with textile conservation colleagues who may not 
subscribe to this list.

Thank you, NATCC Board of Directors

[Consdistlist] Registration update: 2017 North American Textile Conservation Conference, Mexico City Nov 6-11

[Giuntini, Christine]

Dear Colleagues,

We are relieved to share with you that NATCC board members Lorena Roman, Lilian 
García-Alonso and Hector Meneses report that the recent earthquakes, as serious 
as they are for the affected populations, did not impact the neighborhoods 
containing our conference venues and hotel. These two earthquakes in Mexico , 
which occurred a few weeks ago,  are unrelated and correspond to different 
tectonic plates. Reconstruction efforts in the damaged areas are already in 
place.

In light of these recent events, we announce  that our  regular registration 
fee  of $375.00 will remain in force until  November 1st.  Please go to: 
http://www.natcconference.com/registration-df-2017.html.  If the hyperlink 
isn't working please paste the URL into your browser.

We also want to remind you that the local committee has organized a visually 
rich and intellectually stimulating group of cultural trips, including a day 
trip to the nearby first millennium archeological site of Xochicalco and a 
post-conference multi-day trip Nuu Savi: Textiles of the Old Kingdoms, in 
Oaxaca.  To learn more and register for a cultural trip, either before or after 
the conference, please go to: 
http://www.natcconference.com/cultural-trips.html.  If the hyperlink isn't 
working please paste the URL into your browser.

We have organized a very special conference, and hope to see many of you in 
Mexico City the week of November 6-10.
