The idea of pooling resources is a very good one though, especially as environmental monitoring equipment is expensive.

If you reply to this message, your message will be sent to all the people on the list, not just the author of this message. --------------- I wonder just how many people on this list actually have such equipment and, of those that do, how many actually use it frequently. We have a MEACO and so far it hasn?t left the cupboard this calendar year. Their use tends to be important when setting up a display space (e.g. for checking the effectiveness of newly installed UV filters) and thereafter they are largely redundant, particularly in museums where the displays are largely permanent and don?t change on a frequent basis. Perhaps in these tighter economic times museums should pool their equipment? The last time I used ours was to teach a museum studies student how they are used and to introduce her to so-called ?best practice? which may be a world apart from actual practice.

If you reply to this message, your message will be sent to all the people on the list, not just the author of this message. --------------- Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had some good contacts with companies who are able to provide hardware for the peppers Ghost projection effect - similar to that at Jorvik in York with people projected within cases doing certain activities or speaking to visitors. Does anyone have a company they have used recently with this kind of technology that they would recommend for this effect - especially for galleries that are quite tight for space. Thanks.
