Greetings Clare-Estelle,

Expatriate Torontonian here.  :-)

One of the instructors in the Museum Studies program and/or someone on
curatorial staff at the Art Gallery of Ontario ought to be able to put you
in contact with Norman Zepp.  (If not, contact me directly.  I have a round
about way of getting you in touch with him.)

Along this same track, the Marion Scott Gallery (Vancouver) has the Norman
Zepp/Judith Varga collection of Inuit art.  See: www.marionscottgallery.com

In the past, I've found staff at the Museum of Civilization have been quite
friendly (when they have time).  So, consider contacting:

    Dr. Robert McGhee (Curator, Arctic Archaeology)
    Maria von Finckenstein (Curator, Contemporary Inuit Art)
    Dr. David Morrison (Director, Archaeology & History)

Best wishes, sincerely,

Jay Heuman, Curator of Education
Salt Lake Art Center

Salt Lake City, UT 84101
