ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Ahakoa he iti te matakahi, ka pakaru i a ia te tōtara

[Although the wedge is small, it fells the great tōtara tree]

(Māori proverb)

A book of this size and complexity is the work of many hands, and I would like to acknowledge everyone who helped me complete it.

Thanks to the general editors, Helen Rees Leahy and Sharon Macdonald, for the opportunity to tackle the topic, the support to compile the contents, and the encouragement to get it completed.

Thanks to all the contributors who have made this volume possible by writing these diverse and accessible chapters on the contemporary museum at work – your labour, patience, and commitment have made a persuasive case for current museum practice.

In particular I would like to thank Gill Whitley, the Project Editor, for her many efforts large and small, which made it all happen.

Lastly, thanks to my partner Bronwyn Labrum for waiting for me to finish the project. Now we can get on to our book!
