====== Tidying the Museum ====== I never quite got round to writing up how this scenario ran, but here are the bits of contemporary background that I collected at the time. All copyright rests with the original authors. The material I kept electronically was: * {{:dg:museum:losses_from_the_museum_of_antiquities.doc|Losses from Museum of Antiquities}} - a list compiled in mid-2003 once the looting had stopped. * {{:dg:museum:bogdanos11072003.doc|Report from Col Bogdanos}} the US officer in charge of the operation to locate the missing artefacts. * {{:dg:museum:bmiraqvisitjune2003.doc|Report of British Museum visit to Iraq}} from June 2003, sets out a professional museum curator view of the problem. * {{:dg:museum:babylon_report04.pdf|Report on the Babylon site}} with maps and a chronology of what happened from the invasion to the end of 2004 or thereabouts * {{:dg:museum:consreportiraqjune2003a.doc|Report on Conservation Needs in Baghdad's Museum}} * {{:dg:museum:plundern.doc|Notes from a Conference on Plundering}} sites in Iraq, Afghanistan and Bosnia. There ought to be a load more stuff on the British Museum website as well, I have some printed out pages that I obviously didn't save the material electronically.
