Displaying artifacts

I am working on an exhibition right now that involves the multiple use of our materials. I am currently in a Digitization BootCamp that is being sponsored by WNYLRC. A class requirement is to post at least 15 images for use at WNYLegacy.org.

A while back, we were contacted about a bottle that was found at a historical site. Taking the bull by the horns, our Senior Research Fellow Joe Nickell and I were able to establish quite a bit of information on this bottle. Due to this project, we decided that between us, Joe was going to write a report for the archeologist, we were going to write an article, use the materials for a display case, use digital photographs for the Skeptiseum, and use the digital photos and other materials for my digitization project. Many uses but all still regarding the same items.

We have also discussed possibly writing a book expanding a lot on the materials, but giving a history of Dr. R.V. Pierce, the subject of this information.
