I wasn't planning on attending the CMA conference (though when exactly is
it?)in Ottawa, but our museum recently produced a CD-ROM, it's in the final
editing stage. It's called Where's Walterdale and is targeted at the school
groups that visit our site, the John Walter Museum in Edmonton (owned and
operated by the City of Edmonton). Please feel free to contact me, I would
be more than happy to share my experience with you. Another museum in
Alberta, Fort Whoop-Up, initially inspired us to pursue this project when we
first viewed their CD-ROM. The gentleman to contact there is Richard Shockley.
