It's a curious point, though, isn't it? What you feel you can say that isn't misrepresentative/slanderous/the down right home grown truth?
Myself, I'm thinking of working on the Gandhi mode of passive resistance. Smile, nod, agree, and then send the disgrunted 'customers' a pre-addressed envelope of who to complain to when the service is taking too long...
But anyway, Troll, you envisage publishing? been down this road before with conference. Needs funding. And a publisher. Maybe on-line?

If theres a good conference the University of Wales may help with publication(if its held at one of their colleges). Will other universities do this??

I was thinking more the ADS. I thought they might be branching out to this sort of thing, and saves the paper and printing costs, which can be ferocious, especially if a small print run. I work on a journal that costs about ?8,000 to print 900 copies...and of course will go up exponentially the smaller the run.
But Wales may be a good start...don't know of other uni presses that do this sort of thing. What about the CBA?

I was thinking about a paper which dealt with how the conditions of employment of people at the "coalface" affects the day to day role of the curator.

Could not the BAJR 'library' help? If all contributants were given guidelines as to file/page format (PDF or Word files), all the papers could sit in the BAJR archive for future consultation. Why waste trees?
Does BAJR host have any problems with BAJR folk downloading files if they were archived in the BAJR library?

Would Rescue be able to help in any way, if only by advertising/announcing the gig in Rescue News?
How does the conference coflict with/complement the Diggers Forum?
Today, Bradford. Tomorrow, well, Bradford probably.

Now we`re getting there......good questions troops, think Mr Hosty will have to answer most of them. On the Diggers Forum front, I heartily welcome their endeavours and look forward to seeing them at our conference! Go for it Forum!!!!

I agree with what Monitor Lizard and Moley have written here. My own department is going through a similar process of "restructuring" (I'm sure that the OED will soon put "...see under "getting shafted"..." in its definition of this word when applied to Local Government Officers!) I'd like to provide a paper from this side of the fence as well, but I fear anonymity would have to be the order of the day - at least under current circumstances.
As for publication - I would've thought online here would do just fine if the site can handle it. I guess it's just a matter of what effort it would take to do, and whether poor Mr. Hosty wants to take all that extra work on.
If any of the stuff warrants/deserves a wider audience, there's probably enough of us to start slyly distributing things. If a less formal "publication" than the paper/journal one that ML mentions would do, but a stand-alone item is required, why not do it digitally amongst ourselves? I'm happy to knock out a run of CD's to send around if that would help - maybe a few of us could be arranged to run a batch off each, and then forward them to a central point to be checked and "branded" as a BAJR product, for proper distribution?

I'd be more than willing to present a paper or two on behalf of anyone who does not wish to put their name in the frame.
Thinking about it, that would be a great hook for the press - archaeologists keep identities secret for fear of reprisal. That will get a few there.
