The rapidly approaching deadline for submissions to The Bead Forum is 26 
September 2005. 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.
