The 4th European EMu User Group Meeting was held in the week prior to Easter at the Royal Academy of Music in London.  For a day and a half the 45 attendees were kept busy with a full program of presentations on a range of topics that included: data clean-up techniques in EMu; future Conservation module developments; delivering collection information through EMu Narratives; plotting object information using Google Maps; and future EMu developments.

Thanks must go to the people who helped organise the event, in particular Louise Andersson-Gylden, Marion Raiser, Keri Myers, Julian Tomlin and Samantha Pettit.

Thanks to Janet Snowman and Frances Palmer from the Royal Academy of Music for their interesting tours of the academy and the stories that surround the collections, building and past students – Elton John included.

The Natural History Museum also hosted the attendees on various tours through the Mineralogy Department, Palaeontology Conservation Unit (PCU) and the Darwin Centre “Tank Room”.
