[Nhcoll-l] Annoucement: Call for Papers ICON Conference 2013

[Charlotte Ridley]

Call for Papers, Icon Conference 2013: Positive Futures in an Uncertain World in partnership with the University of Glasgow


ICON Ethnography Group is hosting a half day session at the ICON Conference 2013, Glasgow, focusing on the shared materials between Ethnography and Natural History collections.  From plant to animal materials, Ethnographic and Natural History conservators frequently treat objects containing these shared materials.  How is the approach to treating these objects different or similar?  Can Ethnographic and Natural History conservators share techniques, and do they? We would like to use the similarity of materials as a starting point in order to explore approaches to the ethics, treatments and research relating to both Ethnographic and Natural History collections.  Moreover, can we increase our skills by actively collaborating over projects and research? Topics may include, but are not limited to - how pesticide-treated objects are managed within collections; pest damaged fur and feather objects and the options for reattachment; fading of organic pigments or mitigating damage from previous conservation treatments...
