I don't have anything to add to your research. However, I would love to read some of what you do find. Will it be accessible?

We are the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, UK. 2. Researchers are based at University College London led by Dr. May Cassar 3. Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) our sponsoring body 4. Brief is a literature review, including grey or non-published works on climate change as it is expected to affect heritage structures including any mitigating actions that people are taking or proposing to take. Brief is deliberately broad as it is not expected to show much- second phase of research may be to carry out a gap analysis to identify future research directions 5. Timescale for literature review is short- completion is due by January I am on the project board representing museums and have punted out this question to every network I am associated with as I know that folks in other countries are also grappling with the same issues- and it would seem silly to re-invent a wheel for a specific British application. Hope that clears things up.

Who are "we"? 2. Who are the researchers? 3. What UK Government department is this research being carried out for? 4. What is the brief? 5. What is the timescale? Regards, Jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean Gaffaney" To: Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 1:00 PM Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Sustainability research Apologies for cross-posting..... Attention all sustainability gurus, We are participating in a piece of research about the impacts of climate change on the heritage sector here in the UK and I am punting this question out on behalf of the researchers: Does anyone have any information, papers, reports etc. that they feel they could share (particularly insofar as non-referreed journal publication) about the impacts of climate change (and mitigationthereof) on heritage or visitor attractions world-wide? This research is being carried out on behalf of a government department here in the UK and will include a search of the official journals but the so- called "grey" literature is proving a bit elusive though potentially more useful. Answers, as ever, preferably in electronic format or URLs.......Thanking you in advance. Look forward to hearing from you all.
