Dear Cathy and Juilee,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to inform you that even though we are still experiencing technical difficulties with opening our abstract submission portal, we have decided to start promoting the Hazardous Heritage congress and call for papers now so that people have enough time to write their abstracts. It is likely that we are able to open the portal soon.

We kindly request your assistance in sharing the invitation with your colleagues. Attached to this email, you will find a promotion image that you may use at your discretion. Additionally, I have included the promotion text below for your convenience.

Thank you for your continued support and assistance!

(I will get back to you soon regarding the focus issue. We are still in the midst of ongoing discussions.)

Best regards,
Henna


Hazardous Heritage - Working with and around Dangerous Materials in Cultural Heritage

We warmly welcome you to the Hazardous Heritage - Working with and around Dangerous Materials in Cultural Heritage Congress, which will take place on October 23-24, 2023 in Antwerp, Belgium. The congress will also offer remote participation. The call for papers is currently open, and the deadline for abstract submission is June 1, 2023. A special issue of the peer-reviewed journal Collections: A Journal for Museum and Archives Professionals will be based on papers from the conference. Selected papers may be invited for submission to this special issue.

The conference aims to identify and share the state of the art in current theory and practice around hazardous materials that occur in tangible cultural heritage. The challenges related to hazardous materials in tangible heritage, such as buildings, sites and heritage objects, can be approached from different angles, ranging from the identification of harmful substances, prevention and safety regulations in the heritage sector, to conservation ethics, theoretical questions related to the heritage value and significance of hazardous heritage and the history behind this heritage. These interrelated and connected fields require an array of specialized expertise. However, they all contribute pieces of the puzzle to answer questions related to how to approach hazardous heritage.

The congress is jointly organized by the University of Antwerp (Belgium), Faculty of Design Sciences of UAntwerp: Antwerp Cultural Heritage Sciences (ARCHES) (Belgium), University of Helsinki – Faculty of Arts: Department of Cultures (Finland), Finnish Institute of Occupational Health (FIOH) (Finland), University of Ghent – Inter-university Institute for Public History (IPG) (Belgium), ETWIE (Flemish Center for Industrial Heritage) (Belgium), and the Government of Flanders (Belgium).

We hope to welcome participants from all over the world at the congress.
