The NAWCC Ward Francillon Time Symposium is seeking papers for the 2009
and 2010 Symposiums. The 2009 and

2010 Symposiums will be forums for papers covering a broad range of
topics related to timekeeping; no predefined

subject area or theme has been established. Papers may address but are
not limited to historical, technological,

scientific, and educational aspects of timekeeping. The Symposium is a
forum for the presentation of significant and

interesting research related to the art and science of timekeeping. As a
specialty chapter of the NAWCC your

members are greatly encouraged to submit papers on your chapter's
specialty that presents current research in your

chapter's area of specialty to share with others interested in
horological studies. We ask that you share with your

members this call for papers and encourage members to submit papers. The
NAWCC Ward Francillon Time

Symposium is one of our organization's finest educational events and we
encourage all to participate!

Also encouraged are proposals for panel sessions, roundtable
discussions, and any innovative means that facilitate

scholarly discourse. Priority will be given to well-constructed papers
showing original research. Authors should

expect to illustrate their lectures with visual aids. The 2009 Symposium
will be held on October 22-24, 2009 in

Lancaster, PA.

Interested authors should send a detailed 300-word abstract of their
proposed paper including the paper's title, author's

name, and email address by January 31, 2009, via email to:

Committee. Successful proposals will be

identified by March 1, 2009.

2009 Symposium schedule. Should submission

papers will be considered for 2010. Presenters

should expect to provide Symposium attendees with an overview of their
paper and a discussion of its highlights in a

45-minute lecture to be followed by a question and answer session.
