(ARSC) posts the following message.

--- 2018 ARSC CONFERENCE: CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS --- Proposal deadline:
January 2, 2018

The Association for Recorded Sound Collections invites proposals for papers,
panels, and posters at its 52nd annual conference, to be held May 9-12,
2018, at the Radisson Baltimore Downtown-Inner Harbor, Baltimore, Maryland.

ARSC welcomes presentation proposals on the preservation and study of sound
recordings -- in all genres of music and speech, in all formats, and from
all periods. In recognition of our host city, Baltimore, we especially
encourage presentations that focus on the rich history of composers,
broadcasters, musicians, performers, record labels, studios, songwriters,
and personalities in Baltimore and the Mid-Atlantic region of the United
States.

In addition, the Program Committee invites proposals pertaining to:
-- Materials science and new methods of sound transfer and recovery
-- Collaborative research, preservation/access projects, and community
archiving projects
-- Recorded sound in the digital age: collection, curation, and preservation
-- Audio preservation workflows and collections management techniques.

We seek papers, panels, and posters 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.
