----------------------------Original message---------------------------- We have thought about this one before, but we felt video was too "temporary" a medium. I have seen a demo of fire insurance plans that were photographed using a digital camera, then burned onto CD. The digital camera option would allow the exhibit to be web mounted, and audio could be added along with text on both the CD and the web version. Isn't LC doing something like this with the American Memory Project ? If so, they may be a source of advice and assistance.
