Dear David,

I recently read an article on the move of a whole ethnology museum in one
od the Low Countries or Denmark. It was indexed in BMUSE, the online
museology bibliography accessed through the CHIN website at

        http://www.chin.gc.ca

I know, I indexed it. You should be able to find it using the search
terms "anthropology" for category of museum and "in or later than 1995".
If you don't see it, write back to me offline and I will try to get it
for you.

What was intersting was the total reorganization of the collections
storage that the museum undertook, and the heavy load on proper
cataloguing before the move took place.

Hope this helps,

Leslie Munro.
