Proposal

Abstract

 

This is a proposal to establish a permanent repository that preserves the rich history of holography and provides a place where scholars and the general public can witness and learn from this amazing field of technology. There is presently no museum which has an adequate breadth to include the major scientific and historical developments as well as to display the applications created throughout its long history.  The authors propose to design, develop, assemble, and cover the first two year’s operating costs for this repository. They will also donate it to a suitable, qualified institution that agrees to provide space, maintenance, and management for a minimum period of time.  The value of the initial donation is difficult to estimate since some of the contents could be considered priceless; however, we anticipate the value of the donated installation and contents to exceed 1 million dollars and to grow quickly in value because of future donations.
