A Special Call for papers: by The Geological Curator and SVP and SVPCA/SPPC 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/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. Costs are being kept at a minimum and therefore patience is being asked of all participants.
For more information on how to submit a manuscript for this special issue, contact:
Matthew Parkes: mparkes@museum.ie and Paolo Viscardi: PViscardi@horniman.ac.uk
