This is something which The Lace Museum could connect to our archive. The archive was my pet project before I had to take over as managing director, and things have gotten settled enough that I began working in the archive last January.
There are several hosting options I have available and I will need to think through which one would be most advantageous. We are a member of the California Online Archive which is run by the UC system. You can look here and find us as a member: http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ I have a librarian who is helping us with file structure and has put a few files up on the archive as we work our way through. Because institutions can fail just as businesses do, I try to make sure things are always in as many places as possible in case one fails. We can certainly list on this archive and have it publicly available, but we also have the bandwidth to have it on our site. It would make sense to share the information with the IOLI library as well. I will take some time to think about the "safest" way to have this put together so that once it is put together it stays publicly available. That said, I will need a volunteer to organize the content. Sue, is this something you are interested in? Since we are run entirely on volunteer hours and donations I have to be careful to never start a new project with out proper volunteers in place or the project will not happen.
