Presentation of Material Information is presented at a number of different levels. Some users will only briefly want to look at a page, others will want more information and this is obtained by pressing on an object. This will satisfy more people. However, for those interested there is more to find out by pressing on other items. These add interesting asides - for instance, what cargoes were actually carried and what was it actually like to be a boatman working on the canal.
Presentations are usually less than a minute.
Summary Narration and historical recollections were read by Timothy West and Prunella Scales. Photographs were mainly obtained from the Trust s archives. Finance for the project was obtained from the Area Museum Council and the Carnegie UK Trust. A school information pack based on the interactive facility will be produced. The interactive presentation system at Foxton was supplied to the museum in July 1996.
