Hi all, Please pass this message on to any relavant lists or individuals as you see fit. Just a reminder about the joint SVPCA-SVP meeting in Bristol which will result in a special volume of 'Geolgical Curator' on all things preparation and conservation related. See the SVP website for details: http://www.vertpaleo.org/meetings/sessions2009.cfm#preparators (the text from this page is also inserted below this message) Please note you do not have to be a presenter or even attendee at the meeting to offer a paper for this volume so if you, or any of your colleagues have data or techniques you could write up and offer as a paper for the volume, please do so. We strongly encourage you to submit articles for the opportunity to reach an ever wider audience, including colleagues in North America and elsewhere. Cheers, Leslie The text from the web page above is as follows: Preparators' Session Note: in 2009 this session is being held in conjunction with the SPPC <http://preparator.org/> (The Symposium of Palaeontological Preparation and Conservation). A forum for presentations on current issues in paleontological preparation, ranging from field and lab techniques to specimen curation and exhibition design. Presentations will be selected by a panel from SVP Preparators' Committee from abstracts submitted during the SVP abstract submission period. A Special Call for Papers for Preparators: The Geological Curator Journal [published by the Geological Curators' Group (GCG)] has agreed to publish a joint initiative between the GCG and the preparators of SVP and SVPCA/The Symposium of Paleontological Preparation and Conservation (SPPC): a special volume marking the one-time occasion of a joint collaborative Preparators' Session between the SVP and the SVPCA/SPPC at the SVP 69th Annual Meeting. The issue will form a tangible memory of the joint meeting as well as a useful volume of reference. All are encouraged to put forward a technical paper on preparation or conservation materials, methods and applications. Everyone who will present at the meeting (Preparators' Session poster or podium paper) will be invited to submit a manuscript of their presented work for consideration for publication in this volume. Non-presenters are encouraged to submit, as well. After the meeting, the volume will be made available through the GCG and the SVP Preparators' Committee at a modest cost. For more information on how to submit a manuscript for this special issue, contact: Matthew Parkes: [log in to unmask] and Paolo Viscardi: [log in to unmask] or visit the SPPC or the GCG Web sites: www.preparator.org <http://www.preparator.org/> or www.geocurator.org.
