RE: UKNM:Time Capsule

[Ruth Stone]

If you're going to pitch it as an educational online museum I am sure the

IDM would be interested in being involved with an application for

funding/curating the site.  To encourage hits you could arrange specialist

exhibitions linking in with other calendar events/marketing initiatives.

Also under this 'head' it would qualify for charitable staus in the UK and

so have a greater chance of getting the grants - apparently they're cutting

back on sports funding now the olympics is over so there's an opportunity!!
