The Electronic Media Group would like to invite papers following the theme of Conservation 2.0 - New Directions, highlighting the ways in which emerging technologies are affecting the conservation field. This is an ideal topic for this specialty group, corresponding with the most important issues confronting EMG professionals: the migration of technologies from one format to another and the use of new technologies to preserve obsolete components. We will also happily accept other abstracts related to electronic media conservation issues and the education of conservators of electronic media.

Please submit an abstract of 150 words or less (with a title and author) to Program Chair Gwynne Ryan at GRyan[at]mfa.org before September 26, 2008. Presentations should be 25 minutes in length.
