> Dear Museum-Lers,

> I am interested in knowing any ideas or the pros and cons of having your

> To me the collection and artifacts are not just for showing and
> exhibiting,

> educational...and the value of research, discovering more about the topic
> would open

> For example, a negative factor is the concerns with copyright and people

> the Web who might take items from the collection they find on the web and
> use
> them for their own
> purpose. So it opens legalities and new issues.
>
> Help, help, OHHHH Help!!! Any ideas for conversation and a list of pros

> I could discuss at the meeting?
