The Historical Metallurgy Society (HMS) has issued a call for papers for its 2015 conference, with a deadline of 28 February.
HMS writes:
The scope of the conference is not limited to any particular period. Although any relevant contribution will be considered, the organisers are particularly hoping for papers on the following themes:
- What is street furniture? – case studies, artefact types and development.
- How was it made? – manufacturing and manufacturers.
- Exploring the past – contextualising street furniture in its contemporary environment.
- The future for our street furniture – issues such as recording, repair, preservation and conservation, now and in the future.
While offers of papers or posters are welcome on any aspect of street furniture, we are looking especially for those that fit the themes above.
