One option is to purchase stations where we can have our photograph collections with the history connected to them for people to access in the gallery. We would like to have several but we would like to know what companies are out there for these as well as who would be more cost effective. We understand that right now anything hands-on is not ideal, but we would like to start planning this for when we can do more hands-on things in the gallery again. Thank you all.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Hannah Chipman<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><img width=96 height=76 style='width:1.0in;height:.7916in' id="_x0000_i1025" src="https://drive.google.com/a/sicamousmuseum.ca/uc?id=0Bwht6g8k-HAWZWpsOFZqc2cyUDg&export=download"><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
