The 9th International Conference on Austronesian Linguistics (9ICAL)
will be held in Canberra, at the Australian National University, from
January 8-11, 2002.

The 5th International Conference of Oceanic Languages (COOL5) will be
held at the same venue from 14-16 January.

The site for both conferences will be Burgmann College. Both of these
conferences are being hosted by the Linguistics Department, Research
School of Pacific and Asian Studies.

Interested scholars are invited to offer papers relating to the study
of Austronesian languages for 9ICAL, and specifically to the Oceanic
branch of Austronesian for COOL5. All presenters will be allocated a
total of 30 minutes for their papers: 20 minutes for talking and 10
minutes for questions. Abstracts (maximum of one page) should be
submitted by 1 May 2001.

Anyone who is interested in organising a workshop as part of either
conference should get in touch with the conference organisers as soon
as possible.

Proposals for papers or workshops should be made by filling in the
registration form (accessible via the web address below) which you
can also use to let us know if you are planning to attend either of
the conferences without presenting a paper or organising a workshop.
The form is a rich text format (rtf) file that can be sent to the

Conference Announcement:

Wiring Memory: Cultural Heritage On-line
8-9 March 2001
University College Dublin
Belfield, Dublin 4=20

Sponsored by
Council of National Cultural Institutions
University College Dublin=20

Digital technologies are changing the way in which cultural institutions
provide access to their holdings, and the ways scholars can make their
work available to a wider audience. This two-day interdisciplinary
colloquium will focus on the role of the World Wide Web in promoting,
publicising and raising awareness of cultural material. It will
investigate the theoretical, practical, economic and technical
considerations of building and maintaining a cultural website.

The colloquium will provide delegates with an opportunity to hear
lectures by leading experts in the field including Marilyn Deegan, Peter
Flynn, Lee Ellen Friedland and George MacKenzie. In addition, seminars
will provide delegates with overviews to four areas critical to
successful digitisation of archives: text encoding (Judith Wusteman),
imaging (David Jennings), databases (Claire Cullen), and metainformation
(Mary Burke and Susan Schreibman). On Friday afternoon delegates will
work in small breakout groups to consider digital archive issues
explored in the seminars, as well as issues of budgeting, archive scope,
audience and planning.

At the coffee and lunch breaks there will be an extensive poster and
demonstration sessions, during which cultural organisations and
individuals who maintain digital archives, as well as multimedia
companies who have implemented cultural sites, will discuss and
demonstrate their work. Postersession participants are especially
welcome to apply.
