Try Indianapolis--the new Indiana State Museum is under construction, and the Indiana Historical Society is in a brand-new facility (well, 2 yrs by now). I'm not sure who is the correct individual, but they both have websites-- http://www.indianahistory.org There have been some staff changes so I'm not sure who is the right person now. http://www.state.in.us/ism general emailbox: [log in to unmask] or try Genevieve Novak, museum coordinator, [log in to unmask] She tends to know just about everything that's going on.

They have asked me for help in planning an itinerary. They are particularly interested in visiting museums and other heritage institutions planning expansions, major renovations or relocations of facilities, and in meeting the people responsible for these projects. I have suggested that they follow a route that parallels the Atlantic coast southward and return via a different route, perhaps following the Mississippi, but this will depend onn the museums and sites they will visit. Can anyone help me? I would also need contact info for the museums/institutions suggested. Many thanks, Harry Harry Needham Consulting Services Inc.
