Dear NMMNHS,

I see from the American Association of Museums web-site at
	http://www.aam-us.org/museumresources/accred/list.cfm
that the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science is an
accredited museum

I also see from the AAM's Expectations regarding Institutional Code of
Ethics at
	http://www.aam-us.org/museumresources/accred/upload/Ethics%20Code%20ACE%20%282005%29.pdf
that "All accredited museums are required to have a formally approved,
separate, and distinct institutional code of ethics", which museum are
required to submit to the AMM as part of the accreditation process.

Please can you send me a copy of the NMMNH's institutional code of
ethics?  Email to <dino@miketaylor.org.uk> is fine if you have the
code in computer-readable form; otherwise please send a physical copy
to:

	Mike Taylor
	Oakleigh Farm House
	Crooked End
	Ruardean
	Gloucestershire GL17 9XF
	ENGLAND

If you send a physical copy, please drop me an email to let me know
that it's on its way.

Many thanks,
