I would like to announce that the "Journal of Conservation and Museum
Studies," published under the auspices of the Department of Conservation
and Museum Studies, Institute of Archaeology, University College London,
will publish its first issue on the World Wide Web early this year.

This journal has been created to serve as an academic World Wide Web
publication, disseminating information to the global conservation and
museum community. The papers and articles found in the Journal will
represent the work of conservation and museum studies students from around
the world. The Journal will be run by an editorial board of staff and
students at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. As a
WWW publication, images, tables, and graphs will be incorporated into the
text of papers.

More information will be announced in this forum as the publication
date approaches.

Meanwhile, students in conservation or museum studies programs around the
world are invited to propose papers for publication. Students are expected
to submit their papers to their own head of department (or delegated member
of staff), who will then be identified as referee for the paper. Papers
should then be submitted to the Journal by this head of department. Please
contact me if you need further information.

Papers should focus either on issues and techniques in conservation, or on
museum studies and collections care. Guidelines for authors are available
upon request. The language of the journal will be English. Papers for the
next issue should be submitted by 28 February 1996.
