A project based on the common efforts of e-conservationline and
Prorestauro teams was recently completed: an Interactive Calendar of
Events dedicated to Conservation of Cultural Heritage.
What does this new calendar bring? It was designed not only to update
you with the current and forthcoming conservation events, but also to
be used as a tool for conservators and other professionals involved in
Cultural Heritage activities.
It allows anyone to upload events to the database. Events may include
conferences, talks, workshops, call for papers, courses and any other
kind of appropriate announcements.

The calendar was developed as user friendly as possible and has some
new features such as a list of important dates - abstract submission or
registration deadlines, a list of latest events, a section of news and
announcements, a directory of links and even tutorials on how to use
it. Users can also news and links to other websites of events to the
database. The procedure is very simple: after registering an account
(which is free, of course, and only takes 1 minute), the user must
login. On entry, a menu is displayed from where content can be added.
|
The content becomes available online after the moderator’s approval
which is also a very quick process intended only to prevent spam. The
content displayed by the website comes from announcements, list
postings, press releases and of course, from the websites of the events
organisers. Since listing is the outcome of shared efforts, the
calendar is licenced under a Creative Commons Licence, the Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 licence.
We hope you will find useful this tool, not only to keep yourself
updated with the latest events around the world, but also to promote
all kind of information that may be useful for other conservators.
