Ganoksin preserves SNAG early technical papers

    The Ganoksin Project (www.ganoksin.com) and SNAG (The Society of
    North American Goldsmiths) has agreed for its Metalsmith Papers to be
    archived on Ganoksin's website.  Founded in 1969, SNAG now boasts
    more than 3600 active members, its flagship magazine, Metalsmith
    which reaches abut 7000 subscribers and an annual conference held in
    different cities each year. 

    The Metalsmith Papers were research presentations, each given at a
    SNAG Conference, during 1977-1980.  Aided by a grant from the
    National Endowment for the Arts, they were published in 1981 as a
    single volume called, "The Metalsmith Papers". "Metalsmith Magazine"
    was being published concurrently.  

    The historic papers range from safety issues, tools technology and
    practical procedures in the field of metalsmithing. 

    Dr. Aspler states, "We are thrilled to have Ganoksin act as a
    virtual custodian for this important part of metalsmithing history".
    SNAG executive director Dana Singer said, "It was inspirational of
    Dr. Aspler to not let these papers like fallow. Their relevance
    endures nearly twenty-five years later and we re pleased to make
    them so easily accessible through the Ganoksin archive" 

    The Ganoksin Project (http://www.ganoksin.com) is the largest virtual
    single information source for searchable archived content for jewelry
    and metals in the world. Its 5200 Orchid members foster sharing,
    support community, enhance productivity and encourage studio safety,
    by promoting education in the jewelry and metal arts worldwide.
