I will be using handheld computer games, table top games, and computer/console based games for the display with some hands on being allowed. Not sure if I will have it all finished by 12/1 in order to help you with your planning. Good luck.

They had a year or so of exhibits already on the schedule at the time. They recently reconnected with me and have asked me to submit a detailed proposal of items to exhibit. Of course, the proposal is due Dec 1st. The venue in question is a "real museum", so you can be assured of world-class facilities related to UV (light exposure), people certified to handle artifacts, environmental controls, security, etc. If any individuals or museums represented here might have ideas for portions of the exhibit and/or have artifacts, displays, etc. for loan I would very much like to see your ideas as quickly as possible. Rest assured that proper shipping, insurance, and compensation for temporary loan of items would be taken care of. The timeframe for the exhibit is May 2013, and the duration of the exhibit would be about 4 months. If your items are chosen to include in the proposal, the museum would contact you directly to arrange the loan and then provide a facillities report directly to the loaning institution or individual. It is very important to me that this exhibit succeeds. If you have any items related to "Computers in Chess" or display ideas, please email me off-list as soon as is possible for consideration.
