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.
