The Children's Museum at the Southern Oregon Historical Society is
installing a new "1890s Schoolroom".  In order to make the space more
interactive, we want to install a blackboard for the kids to write on.
Question:  does anybody know where we could get some real blackboard
material?  I'd rather buy it as an unframed sheet.  We need about a 3'x6'
section.  Should we be looking specifically for slate?  If anybody has any
source ideas, please respond on the MUSEUM-L or send me an e-mail at
