Contributors to the book include: Carole Hammond, Exhibition Manager, Immigration Museum (Australia); Aaron Pope, Manager of Sustainability Programs, California Academy of Sciences; Grant Reid, Project Director, Program and Production, Natural History Museum; and Hannah Jackson, Sustainability Project Officer, Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service.
