TEXTILE CONSERVATION DISCUSSION LIST
a free e-mail service

[log in to unmask], the Textile Conservation electronic
discussion list, has been developed to expedite communication among
textile conservators within the textile community worldwide. TexCons is
an open un-moderated discussion list. The primary purpose of TexCons is
to serve as a discussion forum to help colleagues with questions/answers
on specific problems, treatment materials, techniques, methods, and
other specific problems or queries relating to textile conservation.
For example, some subjects appropriate to the TexCons discussion and
exchange are:

1. Health and safety information, especially product hazards and sources
for information on containing/handling hazards.
2. Suppliers/products, but not advertisements.  Suppliers should post
only if they are answering an inquiry about a particular product.
3. Literature citations that are of interest to textile conservators,
particularly those in non-conservation journals.
4. Exhibition announcements with dates, museum hours, catalogues (with
price and currencies, shipping/handling).
5. Courses, symposia, and seminar announcements.  Pertinent information
should include:  dates, location, topics, sponsoring organization,
address, telephone and FAX numbers, whom to contact.
6. Hotels (with room rates), travel bargains, and other travel services,
preferably vetted by course/symposia /seminar announcers.  Roommate
searches to defray costs of attending such a conference or seminar.
7. Position and intern announcements, related to the Textile
Conservation profession.
8. Other topics that affect communication among textile conservators and
the textile conservation profession i.e. address and position changes,
deaths, relocation, etc.

  Matters of a personal nature should not be distributed through this
forum.
