The Association for Recorded Sound Collections invites proposals for

Indiana University, in Bloomington, Indiana. The theme for the conference is
"Recorded Sound in the 21st Century: Preserving, Collecting, Collaborating &
Connecting."

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 audiovisual content. Share your special
interests with our engaged community of collectors, historians, musicians,
preservationists, archivists, and audio engineers.

Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:
-- Collaborative research, preservation/access projects, and community
archiving projects
-- Indiana-based or regional musicians, record labels, studios, scholars,
and personalities
-- Recorded sound in digital humanities, soundscapes, sound art, and sound
studies
-- Audio preservation workflows and collections management techniques
-- Collecting and curatorial challenges from born digital media to mixtapes
and beyond.

The deadline for presentation proposals is January 3, 2016. Receipt will be
acknowledged by e-mail. Presenters will be notified of acceptance
approximately one month thereafter.
