-- 2006 ARSC CONFERENCE: CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS -- ARSC is now accepting proposals for presentations to be given during its 40th annual conference, in Seattle, Washington, May 17-20, 2006. 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 invites program proposals on any aspect of recorded sound of interest to our community of collectors, historians, musicians, preservationists, and archivists. Presentations on recording activities in the Seattle area are especially encouraged. We seek talks, papers, panel sessions, and demonstrations that are informative, well organized, display a passion about the subject, and include compelling audio and/or visual content. The deadline for proposal submissions is November 5, 2005. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by January 2006. According to ARSC policy, presenters must register for the conference.
