Museum website security upgraded
In response to a number of recent hacking attempts, the Museum's website has undergone a security review. The Museum would like to apologise for any inconvenience or discontinuity of website service which may have resulted from the hackers' efforts, or the subsequent work on the website. However, we believe that the issue has now been resolved, and that the Museum website is now back in full service. |

Franklin Journal extracts online
Charles Franklin was a man of Science and letters - a contemporary of Sir James Soame, the Museum's founder. He lived in the North of England during the latter part of the 19th century.
In 2002, some of Franklin's missing original journals were found in an attic by his family, and were kindly donated to the Museum. We are honoured and excited by this donation, and will publish extracts from the Journals on our Website during the build-up to a special exhibition, Franklin - Science and Music in 19th century Liverpool at the Museum itself. The exhibition is scheduled for summer 2004.

Detroit Historical Museum techno exhibition
The Detroit Historical Museum has opened an exhibition, to run until June 2004, of artefacts donated by techno researchers and collectors from that area of the United States. While limited in scope (focused very narrowly on Detroit, with exhibits dating back only as far as the late 20th century), the exhibition promises some interesting pieces.

sponsors sought for new wing
The museum's collection is fast outgrowing our capacity to store and display the artefacts. In order to make available a significant proportion of the collection, we plan to extend the museum by building a new wing, to the south of the main building. We are actively seeking sponsors to join with us in making these exciting plans a reality. |

research partnership forged
The museum's curator, , this week signed a research partnership agreement with M. Jean-Pierre Goudaillier of the Université René-Descartes in Paris. The first fruits of the partnership will be a one-year collaboration with URD's Groupe Récherches Techno, looking into the early development of those mad fucking reversed rush-up noises you get a couple of seconds before a huge wedge of percussion boots off - extending the group's recent work on the theory that if the crowd's on pills it makes them go, like, fucking COME ON!. |

summer soirees 2001
Enjoy a summer's evening of fine food, stimulating conversation and, of course, arse-caning nose-bleed techno. We have organised a short series of dinner talks to be held in the Museum's central courtyard. Led by the curator and experts from the museum, the talks will cover an eclectic range of topics and offer a chance for visitors to meet the staff in an informal setting. Last year's soirees were highly successful - and very enjoyable - and we look forward to dining and talking with you again this year. |
