The San Diego Natural History Museum is in the initial planning stages for a building extension which will improve and increase the space available for collections and all collections-based activities. We would like to make all our collections and research areas fully usable and accessible, going above the legal requirements if necessary. We are particularly looking for input from people with disabilities as to what they require when using museum collections, what design features and accomodations we need to include, what good (and bad) experiences they have had with using research collections, and any other comments or anecdotes that would help us design our new areas. Please reply off-list; we will be glad to summarize responses if anyone is interested. Thank you for your help. Judy Gibson and Sally Shelton San Diego Natural History Museum
