Mariana, Another possible repository for things Antarctic is Due South: the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Centre currently in the final stages of development in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Contact details are available on their home page www.antcrc.utas.edu.au/asoc/ (Apologies for responding through the list). ____________________________________________________ Steven Fox Collections Development Department of Communications and the Arts GPO Box 2154 CANBERRA ACT 2601 Ph 02 6279 1695 Fax 02 6279 1684 Email [log in to unmask] ------------- Original Text From: C=US/A=INTERNET/DDA=ID/MUSEUM-L(a)HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM, on 4/11/97 1:29 AM: Mariana; As my system does not let me pick up yur own email address, I fear I must respond through the list. The two museums I know that are most interested in Antarctica are: The International Antarctic Centre, located next to the airport in Christchurch, New Zealand. Christchurch is the jumping-off point for expeditions to Antarctica and the Centre is a joint US-NZ-French (I think) operation which has a very well done visitors' centre, where the models could be displayed to advantage. Another possibility is the Canterbury Museum in downtown Christchurch, which includes the history of Antarctic exploration in its mandate. If interested, please contact me at [log in to unmask] and I will give you contact names and information. Harry Needham Director, Programmes & Operations Canadian War Museum
