Feb 4, 2021 at 3:05 comment added Ben Webster I don't have a good reference, but I know a good explanation of why this should work: the classifying space of any compact group can be written as a direct limit of Riemannian (actually, Kahler) manifolds: for example, $S^1$ gives $\mathbb{CP}^{\infty}$. So you can think of equivariant cohomology as an inverse limit of the cohomology of smooth Riemannian manifolds whose union is the Borel space.
