Dear TEI-l'ers,

Just a quick reminder about the one day conference we are having at the OTA to
celebrate the archive's 30th Birthday (1976-2006).  We have a number of
wonderful speakers lined up for this free event.  I remind you of it now because
there are really only a few places left.  If you were intending to come but
hadn't got around to registering, then you should do so quickly!  Registration
is by an email to [log in to unmask] with your name and email address.  If you
