                                LAST CALL FOR PAPERS *Deadline May 15, 1997*

                                        VISUAL RESOURCES ASSOCIATION
                                      NANCY DELAURIER WRTING AWARDS

In 1996, the Visual Resources Association established the Nancy DeLauier
Writing Awards, named in honor of one of the founding members of our
professional organization.  The VRA Executive Board feels that these
awards, to be offered annually, are a fitting tribute to Ms. DeLaurier, who
has encouraged professional development for visual resources curators for
many years.

The recipients of the 1997 awards will be announced at the 1998 VRA Annual
Conference in Philadelphia,  where the  recipients will be recognized if
present.  Two awards will be offered, one each for a student and a
professional recipient.  Each award recipient will receive $200.00 and a
one-year complimentary VRA membership.

The committee is issuing a call for paper or electronic submissions, 10-20
pages in length, on a topic significantly relevant to the field of visual
resources.  Appropriate illustrations may be included. Submissions should
be received by the Chair of the Nancy DeLaurier Writing Awards Committee no
later than May 15, 1997.  Electronic submissions will also be accepted.
Submissions should be sent to: Leigh Gates, Slide Librarian, MacLean Visual
Resources Center, Ryerson Library, The Art Institute of Chicago, 37 S.
Wabash Street, Chicago, IL 60603, email: [log in to unmask]

Papers might address the effects of new technologies on visual resources;
new methods of organization and accessing visual information; historical
overviews of early visual technology; theoretical analysis of the internet
and web sites and their impact on visual resources; critiques of
controversial issues effecting visual resource institutions; or issues
effecting the profession.

Visual Resources Association membership is not required for participation.
Previously published papers may not be submitted.  In the student category,
applicants must show proof of student status at the time of  submission by
including a photocopy of a student ID (either graduate or undergraduate)
with the paper.  Papers completed for a degree may be submitted. An entrant
may submit more than one paper provided they are on different topics.
Papers may be co-authored, in which case, co-authors receiving the award
will divide the cash award.

Recipients will be notified by the committee before August 15, 1997.  The
committee reserves the right not to make the awards if submissions do not
meet the criteria.
