NEW BUSINESS
a) Relocation of Museum
Subsequent to the recent decision of the Federal
Government not to proceed with the Airport at the
present time the committee strongly felt that the
museum still needs to be relocated because the
present site is not suitable for the museum or for
any further development of the museum especially
because of the lack of volunteers in the immediate
area.

MOVED by R. Cooper, seconded by W.T. Beddall that
it be recommended to the Pickering Museum Board
that plans for relocation of the museum be proceeded
with.

b) New, Acquisitions
It was suggested that the new acquisitions contemplated
by the museum board should be referred to the Technical
Advisory Committee. It was agreed upon that a list of
outstanding acquisitions still to be moved or acquired
will be made up with a short background indicating the
circumstances of each item.
c)
Museum Plan
It was suggested that the Advisory Committee should
use a concept for the development of the museum at
the new location. It was agreed that this was highly
desirable, however, a concept of the museum will have
to develop after much reflection on the facts assembled
by the Technical Advisory Committee and by the Consultants.

2. NEW BUSINESS (Continued)
c)
Museum Plan (Continued)
Mr. Beddall indicated that there is a lot of
expertise on the committee and in the museum
board itself and that this expertise can be used
to very good purpose. He also indicated that the
East Region Chapter of Architects may be able to
assist the museum board in its development of a
plan.
d)
Mr. Derek Roy Owen
Mr. Derek Roy OWen of the East Region Chapter of
Architects was introduced to the Technical Advisory
Committee. Mr. OWen explained his background in
this particular fiéld by indicating that he has been
active in historical restoration here in Canada and
has also had experience in England. Furthermore he
has been a professor in the School of Architecture
of the University of Leeds. As an architect he has
also been involved with restoration in connection
with the National Trust which is a government sponsored
body in England for the preservation and restoration
of historical stuctures. He explained his philosophy
especially on one point relative to the preservation
of artifacts. He indicated that artifacts themselves
are not as important as the preservation of the craft
itself. He agreed to present a written proposal using
various facilities in the Technical Advisory Committee,
the Museum Board, and the municipality in general.
He hoped that the cost of a plan for the museum could
be kept within the $5,000.00 range.
MOTION 3/75
MOVED by D. McLean, seconded by C.R. Purcell that the
Technical Advisory Committee express its appreciation
to Mr. OWen for his presence at the meeting and his
expression of interest in the Pickering Museum.
