A message from Tan Bee Thiam, Secretary-General of SEAPAVAA
Dear Members, Colleagues and Friends,
Greetings from SEAPAVAA!
In light of the situation in Bangkok, the Executive Council and the local organizing committee of the 14th Annual SEAPAVAA Conference would like to announce the rescheduling of the conference date to August 3-8, 2010. We would like apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, however, your safety is of the utmost importance to us. We are hoping that by August, the conflicts in Bangkok have settled down.

Together for a sound vision
2- 6 November, Philadelphia, USA
The sound, audiovisual and moving image collections of the world have grown in response to the varied needs of their collectors, creators and users, and reflect the diversity of their owners, curators and managers. There is much about these sound and moving image archives that is unique and specific only to those formats or collections. However, there is an even greater range of issues and concerns that all share in common, where convergence is a possibility, standards are communicated and mutual solutions are shared. This conference will be a forum to investigate and discuss all these issues, and many more besides.

Dear IASA members
On Wednesday January 20, 2010, Penelope Eckersley died. Those of us who helped found IASA or joined the small group of pioneers in its early days, vividly remember her and her husband Timothy, IASA’s second President. Tim was instrumental in bringing the organisation out of its infant state into an International Association in its own right. During this period it was Pen who added a special flavour to the many meetings and dinners in their lovely house at 72 Westbourne Park Road. She was a gracious host and a good friend for all of us who frequented ‘72’ in that period, as well as later when Tim was Vice-President and also acted as co-editor of the Phonographic Bulletin. In September 2001, during the IASA Annual Meeting in London, many years after Tim passed away, some of us once more enjoyed Pen’s hospitality for a charming dinner party at ‘72’. With her death this part of IASA’s history has now come to a closure. We fondly remember Pen and Tim and wish their children well.
