Return to Workers' Home Page General Information Counter space for exhibit preparation is now set aside in the workroom. As soon as one exhibit is displayed, preparation of the next exhibit will begin. Exhibits will be displayed online as well as physically in the Collections. Please look at the exhibit examples at Linda Hall Library , particularly their online exhibit of celestial atlases and paper dinosaurs. We are proceeding with plans to revive the image-archiving project in conjunction with a unified history of science program website coordinated with exhibits regularly prepared for physical display in the Collections.
All input is appreciated, both now and at every stage of the process.
The anniversary website provides a great starting point for incrementally constructing, exhibit by exhibit, a comprehensive history of science museum, hopefully eventually to be aided by appropriate grant funding and authorization from the History of Science Society. Our strategy is based upon the metaphor of the Collections themselves. For example, it accommodates visits to museums without confining us to the museum metaphor. It reinforces the vibrancy of books. We can make rooms in our library of the history of science as warm and publicly inviting as Borders or Full Circle, or as intricate and obscurely rich as the Aedificium in Name of the Rose .
