The ARSC conference is not a Trade Show or something like Union or even MAPS Phonovention. It is a professionally run conference with many well known speakers about anything dealing with sound recording preservation. About 25-30% of attendees are professional archivists or record librariarns. The rest are collectors of everything from "edison to Elvis and beyond". There will be sessions on personalities and early Edison recordings and - in the past - we (meaning ARSC of which I am Treasurer) have made world news by hearing the EARLIEST sound recordings. The attendees are fun folks and we spend the evenings as well as days talking about - what else - records. So, no you can't bring thingsto sell BUT you can learn a lot about all those records you have and how to preserve them and meet folks you have probably only read about in magazine articles. Go to the conference website _www.arsc-audio.org/conference_ (http://www.arsc-audio.org/conference) and look at the preliminary program. And anyone in the area of Rochester should definitely plan to attend/ Steve Ramm In a message dated 3/3/2012 6:28:29 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, ge...@comcast.net writes:
I am not a member of ARSC, but would join if: Would this be a good place to sell my 4 Edisons, 1 Victor, and about a dozen large horns? (I'd ask about the records, but all of this won't fit into my car...well maybe a few records). Also, if I would be allowed to try to sell my stuff, what is the security?? If stuff is stored in the car it could be stolen!? Thanks Ger _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
