(Apologies to those recieving both Museum-L and Cidoc-L for the duplication)
I am currently working on the entry for Museums - Outside North America
for the Britannica Book of the Year 1996 and would be glad to have notes
- OFF LIST please to save everyone else's time - of anything of
particular interest at the national or local level: important new museum
openings (or closures/mergers), major changes in national policy or
law on museums, professional developments etc. which I should try to mention.
I should stress that (1) I do not cover North America - this is written
and edited separately from the USA - so I cannot handly any US or
Canadian stories and (2) the total word allocationfor the subject is very
limited, so all that is possible is a broad brush overview of museum
trends with a few examples or notes. Specific examples of eg. important
new developments can rarely be given more than a sentence or two's
mention, so although I might well be interested to received 100s or
1,000s of words of information from a personal point of view longer
stories, if I can fit them in at all, would have to be severely edited
down.
On this basis I would be extremely grateful for any relevant non-North
American news - again off list please to [log in to unmask] - by the
first week in October at the latest.
