The HOBO series are good workhorse products and there are two models
with integrated LCD displays in addition to memory. You will find them
on their website at 

http://www.onsetcomp.com/Products/Product_Pages/HOBO_H08/lcd_data_logger.html

They also offer some software packages at very low cost to be used with
their products. Regrettably I'm not familiar with thsse and recommend
you contact them directly for information

I have spent a couple of months at the Vizcaya, performing in-situ
conservation treatment on the Joseph Dufour wallpaper panels in the
Vestibule. I also spent some time working on the blueprints across the
street. During this time I became somewhat familiar with the
micro-climate patterns at the Vizcaya. I would be happy to discuss the
subject with you off list and may be able to suggest some cost
effective alternatives. 

I'll call you, or free feel to call me when you have some time.

Best regards,

George
