There
was very little funding available to create the exhibit. The Connecticut Museum of Natural History
donated staff time, materials, and equipment to make the exhibit possible. All students volunteered their time. We could only choose images that are
available for free. There were some
images we liked but couldn’t use because they had to be purchased. Some of the ideas for the exhibit included
showing video clips and other types of “interactive” parts of the display, but
without funding these features were not an option. Even the choice of a website to host these
footnotes was limited to sites that provided free services.
