SPECIAL VIRTUAL HERITAGE COLLOQUIUM Sponsored by the Virtual Heritage Network DATE: 25 October, 2001 For 3 consecutive years VSMM has brought together researchers from around the globe focused on the new field of Virtual Heritage. In response to user demand, a special Colloquium will be held immediately prior to the full conference to debate, explore, and begin to address issues including: international standards and metadata, funding and collaboration, and application of emerging technology. Due to high demand and the need to keep the discussion focused, space will be limited to 25 attendees. To facilitate a productive and fruitful Colloquium, we hope to select a diverse international cross section of professionals, government officials, and academics from the spectrum of preservation, heritage, culture, museum, computing technology and new media. This session is now full. If you wish to be put on the waiting list, please email the secretariat and we will try to accommodate your wishes.
