[ARC5] Museum website

[Fuqua, Bill L]

What good is a museum if there your donated equipment can not be seen and admired.

It is just a means of making money. Being a 501(c)3 non-profit for educational purposes it would be nice to know where I can purchase or bid on equipment that is being sold. Only a small amount of donated items are actually used in a museum, most is sold.

There seems to have been some difficulties for 2 people in the Forum, possibly 3, accessing the current Museum website. I spent a lot of time this weekend with the new ISP I had to bring on, and we went through all the servers, software, systems, etc., and everything seems to be working correctly. If anyone is interested, over the past 2+ years I had to switch the Museum from an extremely bad ISP to the new ISP, also resulting in going through 3 domain changes, building 3 different website systems… a ridiculous amount of work, all while dealing with significant health issues and an extremely tiny budget for the Museum. The current website is a pale reflection of what it will become. Building a formal museum organization is far more difficult than you can imagine, unless you have been there. I look forward to any constructive and helpful feedback. Charles
