[Bill Klinger]

The Outreach Committee of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections
(ARSC) posts the following message.

--- 2015 ARSC CONFERENCE: CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS --- Proposal deadline:
January 5, 2015

The Association for Recorded Sound Collections invites proposals for
presentations at its 49th annual conference, to be held May 27-30, 2015, in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

ARSC welcomes papers on the preservation and study of sound recordings -- in
all genres of music and speech, in all formats, and from all periods. We
seek papers and panels that are informative, display a passion for their
subjects, and include compelling audio and visual content. Is there an
artist, label, or other aspect of the industry you've been working on?
Preservation, archives management, or research technique that might be of
interest to others? Share your special interests with our engaged community
of collectors, historians, musicians, preservationists, and archivists.

Since Pittsburgh's history is rich with regard to influential musicians,
singers, and songwriters across multiple genres, especially jazz, we
encourage presentations focusing on these subjects, as well as recording and
music-making in Appalachia, neighboring regions, and urban areas, including
Cleveland, Columbus, and Detroit.

The deadline for presentation proposals is January 5, 2015. Receipt will be
acknowledged by e-mail. Presenters will be notified of acceptance
approximately one month thereafter.

Ginell, ARSC Program Chair, at originjazz at aol.com
