The items for the exhibition, properly scanned and contextualized, were brought together on a hypermedia platform, so as to retain a record of the exhibition. The hypermedia material was distributed with the exhibition catalogue and published on the museum website. The author was in charge of the creating the hypermedia platform. This paper outlines the approach to structuring the text, and explains the difficulties and successes encountered during the collection of the material.
