Brooklyn, NY, October 26-28, 2001.

If you are interested in demonstrating a particular preservation-related
trade skill or craft technique, please send a description of the
demonstration and several photographs of yourself engaged in that work,
as well as photographs of the finished product.  Please include a copy
of your resume.

If you would like to lead a round-table discussion on a topic, please
