Photos and Conference notes from The Artists' Books Conference Los Angeles, held May 21-24, 2005 are now available at http://www.arlis-sc.org 

Artists, librarians, archivists, collectors, dealers, and others joined together for four intensive days of seminars, workshops, and panels. Topics included: the history of artists' books; a look at emerging Los Angeles artists; current trends in cataloging artists' books; access and preservation issues; and facilitating the collecting of artists' books. Four workshops were held on basic conservation and book structures.  Each of the conference's four days took place in a different cultural venue, including MoCA, Otis College of Art and Design, William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, and the Getty Research Institute.
