The rapidly approaching deadline for submissions to The Bead Forum is
15 October 2006.  The Bead Forum is the bi-annual newsletter of the
Society of Bead Researchers.  I am looking for current research notes,
short articles of up to five pages in length (b&w illustrations are
encouraged), requests for info, info on bead exhibitions, book
announcements, references to recent pubs on beads.  Both historical
and prehistorical material is appropriate. The society web site is:
http://sbrwebsite.home.comcast.net/index/index.htm

The Society is a non-profit corporation, founded in 1981 to foster
research on beads of all materials and periods, and to expedite the
dissemination of the resultant knowledge.  Membership is open to all
persons involved in the study of beads, as well as those interested in
keeping abreast of current trends in bead research.  The Society
publishes a biannual newsletter, The Bead Forum, and an annual
journal, Beads.  Contents of the newsletter include current research
news, requests for information, responses to queries, listings of
recent publications, conference and symposia announcements, and brief
articles on various aspects of bead research.
