I am currently researching the topic of collecting during the colonial period - especially that of natural history specimens (for more information go to www.claireloughney.co.uk). As part of this research I am interested in the legacy colonial collecting has left to museums today and would be very grateful if anybody could give me any information on cases of repatriation of natural history collections/specimens or any associated information. Thank you, Claire Loughney International Centre for Cultural and Heritage Studies Bruce Building University of Newcastle Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU UK ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
