    Extractions: The Museum has extensive grounds which adapt themselves easily to environmental activities. While our Staff are equipped to lead woodland, lough shore and river studies to highlight aspects of the curriculum for P6 and P7 children, we welcome self-programmed visits to these areas by teachers of older age groups. These activities are especially suitable for residential groups and depend on the time of year, tides and weather conditions. As the curriculum moves into the concept of sustainable development, we intend to continue developing our environmental programmes with social life in the urban and rural areas of the Museum to give children and young people a comprehensive view of the interaction between people and nature and the effects each has upon the other. We also have a self-led geography trail linked with P6 curriculum and a barn owl study in conjunction with the Ulster Wildlife Trust. KS2 worksheets available on: Waste, Water and Sewage, and Energy, Transport and Pollution Citizenship During 2003, MAGNI will be running a Citizenship pilot project for young people. It will use our collections to explore aspects of the new post-primary Citizenship curriculum: diversity and inclusion, equality and social justice, democracy and active participation and human rights and social responsibility.

Families are an important market for museums, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens and other cultural institutions. By its very definition, family means children. Our studies have shown that at most facilities, a significant portion of the children visiting are 9 years old or younger. Children 9 years and younger make up 14% of the 2000 US population and even a greater percentage in other countries. In 2000 in the US, 33% of all households had children. The majority of those households had at least one younger child. Although most facilities target the family market for a substantial portion of their business, their facilities often fail to be truly family and child friendly. Designing a quality and culturally appropriate environment for families and their children is a highly complex, specialized and unique skill. The physical environment; including its atmospherics, layout, equipment exhibits and furnishings; and the management of the facility has a profound impact on families' and children's fun, learning and behavior. Children of different ages have unique needs and interests. Parents needs must also be addressed.

    Extractions: GO ADVANCED SEARCH NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM JOINS UNIQUE ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVE By David Prudames Photo: A chair or desk from the Natural History Museum could now end up in a school or a community centre after the institution signed up to take part in a unique environmental initiative. The first museum to sign-up to the Green-Works scheme, the London-based Natural History Museum has now found an environmental solution for all its unwanted furniture. Established in 2000, Green-Works, a not for profit social enterprise, re-distributes or recycles any damaged or unwanted items of furniture, meaning that none of it will end up in landfill. "The Natural History Museum is known for its world-leading exhibitions that celebrate nature and promote the responsible use of the world's resources," explained Tony Claiden, Assistant Environmental Manager for the Natural History Museum. Photo: "Our new relationship with Green-Works is part of our campaign for sustainable working practices. We've implemented several new recycling projects at the Museum, resulting in around 80% of our materials now being recycled - from paper to cooking oil." Already, 600 square metres of carpet from one of the museum’s refurbished galleries now lines the floors of an office area at Green-Works' newly relocated Woolwich warehouse.

    Extractions: Status: Schematic Design The primary mission of this museum in York County is to explore human connections with, and responsibilities toward, the natural environment, with emphasis on the origins and continuing evolution of the Carolina Piedmont. The complex will provide a forum for scholars and policy makers, historians, scientists, and the public to share the latest thinking about environmental history, ecology, and sustainability. Visitors will explore the natural, cultural, and social history of the site and the region through a series of pavilions that highlight the setting and embody the exhibition themes. The design for this new museum in the Appalachian Piedmont merges the built and natural landscapes on a dramatic 400-acre site overlooking the Catawba River. Sited to emphasize the gently sloping topography of the land and meandering geology of the river, the buildings and grounds inflect toward the surrounding environment.

    Extractions: Archives, Libraries and Museums Preserving the culture of Western Australia for future generations is vital, particularly in a State with such a rich and diverse cultural and natural environment. Western Australia has over 200 museums including state, community and independent museums. Of these, 60% are based in regional areas of the state. The Western Australian Museum is one of Australia's foremost museums. It is a major research institute for the State which collects and interprets Western Australia's social, cultural and natural material heritage. Its team of scientists,anthropoligists and historians conduct research and publish books, guides and papers on the bio-diversity of the natural environment, Indigenous culture, European history and pre-history and the relationship of the Western Australian people to this unique environment. The Western Australian Museum is centrally involved in tracking and recording the State's remarkable fauna. ( Research and collection of the flora of the State is the responsibility of the State Herbarium and Kings Park and Botanic Gardens) In addition to its research and publishing activities, the Western Australian Museum provides a lively and changing schedule of exhibitions, lectures and education programs for people of all ages. The Western Australian Museum has a number of sites in metropolitan and regional areas. These include its administration headquarters, Natural Sciences, Social and Cultural History and Indigenous Culture and Discovery Centre operations at the Perth Cultural Centre, James St, Perth; the Maritime Museum in Cliff St, Fremantle ( with a new Maritime Museum housing Australia II and other exhibits opening soon on the Fremantle water front at Victoria Quay); the Fremantle History Museum in Finnerty St , Fremantle; and regional museums in Kalgoorlie- Boulder, Albany and Geraldton.

    http://www.collectioncare.org/cci/ccierm.html
    
    Extractions: The minimum equipment required for a museum is a swing or electric psychrometer. It should have two thermometers, one covered in a cotton sock that is wet with distilled water for use. Air flow (using a fan or by swinging) causes moisture from the wet cotton sock to evaporate, lowering the temperature recorded on the wet thermometer. Using a slide rule or a chart will give you the relative humidity based on the reading of both thermometers. The dry thermometer gives you the room's temperature. Psychrometer readings taken three times a day in different parts of a small museum, and recorded on a chart, will provide some monitoring information if the museum cannot afford other logging devices. All other RH and T recorders, even computerized ones, MUST be regularly calibrated with a psychrometer. Do not substitute an electric psychrometer using sensors instead of thermometers. Do not use tap water, which will destroy the psychrometer and provide inaccurate readings. Finally, keep the cotton sock clean and do not touch it. The dirt or the oils from your hands will cause it to read inaccurately.

It presents information on the interrelationship of the materials of the heritage objects, the environment of the objects, and aspects of the biology of the insects and fungi. Insects discussed include common museum or household pests and some specific to special geographic locations. Fungi discussed are cosmopolitan airborne fungi, which cause surface damage, and those that cause specific internal deterioration of materials such as wood, paper, and textiles. Biodegradable proteinaceous and cellulosic materials of heritage objects are also covered. Environments considered range from complex air-conditioned buildings to simple, temperature-controlled homes. Paper. $40. Available from Preservation Resource Group, Inc., P.O.

    Extractions: The toxicity of old pesticides has taken on a serious new meaning since the passage of the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. The 1990 act entitles Native American tribes to claim human remains, and funerary, sacred, or patrimonial objects (those that are part of their cultural inheritance) back from museums. Dr. James Nason, professor of Anthropology and curator of Pacific and American Ethnology for the University of Washington's Burke Museum, was concerned about turn-of-the-century pesticide residues in the Burke's collections. As chair of repatriation operations for the Museum, he knew that many of the sacred objects might be put back into active ceremonial use. Ceremonies can last up to four days, with important roles performed by tribal elders who could be particularly susceptible to toxic effects.
