Hi Sarah
You will probably know this already but a useful contact is The Henry
Moore Institute in Leeds. They specialise in research and exhibitions
exploring themes relative to sculpture and have a good reference library
and archive of drawings by many artists, not just Moore, as far as i
remember. Last year they ran a short one-day seminar about sculpture and
drawing.
The University of Leeds also has a Masters in Sculpture degree course
and several PhD researchers addressing sculptural themes.

The Frith Street Gallery had an exhibition " From Figure to Object a
century
of sculptors' drawings" in 1996
and published an interesting catalogue with text by Richard Stone
(entitled
Between shadow and truth, sculptors' drawings in the twentieth century),
the
publishers were the Frith Street Gallery (0207 494 1550) and Karsten
Schubert (0207 631 0031)
good luck
