As the debate and discussion over PEl's provincial museum system and location of the artifactory is played out in public meetings and in the lettersto-the-editor section of Island newspapers, the dialogue has also moved online.

Ian Scott, former executive director of the PEl Museum & Heritage Foundation, and panelist at the Institute of Island Studies' recent public meetings, has been maintaining a blog about the issues.

Updated frequently, Mr Scott has compiled letters to the editor, and newspaper articles about the museum and the artifactory, and has posted details about three resolutions passed at the PEl Museum & Heritage Foundation AGM held last week.

Mr Scott's blog features opinions from many sides of this complex issue, and acts as an online database of published thought about the museum and artifactory.

So, if you want to learn more about the issues surrounding PEl's museum system, or become more engaged in the discussion, visiting the PEl museum blog at www.peimuseum.blogspot.com is a great place to start.
