Antarctic section of museum
Sir,—The chairperson of the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Antarctic Society has expressed concern at the apparent down-grading of the Antarctic section in the Canterbury Museum. Observations suggest that the section Is perhaps , the largest crowd puller in : the museum at both interest and educational levels. The deposit recently of equipment from one ” of the Footsteps of Scott expedition members appears to.;,' strengthen the view; of many national and international bodies, V e.g. the D.S.I.R. Antarctic Divi- v slon, and the Scott Polar Insti-/ tute, that we have the most/, important collectionfbf at least’iln 'thei Southern Hemisphere; As a' ratepayer, ; content < to contribute to thermiseum and £ with an eye on the lorn! elections-, I would be most interested to “ learn of the museum’s future,<• plans for the section. For ex-,;' ample, the displays could be. rotated frequently and more fre- 5 quent use made >of the little ,£ lecture theatre. — Yours, etc., CAROLE ANNE WHITTAKER. - January 29, 1985.
