PRESS RELEASE  April 21, 1999
InfoDisc, Inc. announces a new corporation, 
a new idea for old treasures…

COLLIGO CORPORATION  -Digital excursions into History and Art

Colligo broadens the access to photographic and other collections in 
libraries, museums and private hands by using today's computer technology to 
display yesterday's treasures for the future. Colligo Corporation develops 
partnerships with the owners and stewards of collections and exhibitions and 
electronically publishes the information unto CD, diskettes, Internet and for 
interactive exhibits. Digital versions of collections cost considerably less 
to produce and distribute than conventional means of reproduction and 
archiving.  It is our aim to open the doors of accessibility for educational 
purposes and personal enjoyment.

End users expect more from an electronic version but do not want to be 
overwhelmed by the software. To be as close as possible to the original, 
Colligo takes great care to reproduce the collections in a manner that  "look 
and read", - similar to a book, a coffee table publication. Contents are 
enhanced, not diminished by the production methods Colligo employs.

"A digitized reproduction on a high quality, color computer screen is far 
more satisfying and revealing than anything on the printed page. Combine this 
with the interactive options and discover a new realm of appreciation, 
somewhere well beyond viewing a reproduction in an exhibition catalog".       
      
Museum News, American Association of Museums

To encourage the owners of these collections to use their service, Colligo 
performs on a lucrative sliding scale royalty basis that will pay back to the 
owner up to 50% of the net proceeds of each project.
