There's been more progress on the new doorway for our new museum. At first it was an ordinary single door. InfoAge + VCF hired a contractor to make it a double door. Two weeks ago, the contractor removed the single door, cut open the wall, and built the frame for the double door. Last week, the town inspector approved the frame. Today, the contractor hung the new doors and installed a temporary lock on the inside (we can enter from the other doorway which locks from the hallway side.) The "new" doors aren't actually new. They are historic WW2 doors, per the exact style that was used at Camp Evans in the early/mid-1940s. Two steps remain. First, the doors need handles and proper locks. Contractor said the town requires crash bars or lever-style handles for handicapped and/or emergency access. InfoAge will decide how to process with that. Second, the WW2 doors need painting, glass cleaning, and the walls around the frame need some new drywall or sheetrock. Anyway, there are two months to get all that done. For now we have locking doors again, and finally the ability to bring in the UNIVAC for display! The new doors open 180 degrees into the hallway, so they'll be flat against the hallway wall and out of our way during moving time. Security-wise, the point of these doors is to prevent random InfoAge volunteers (etc.) from wondering where they needn't be. These doors are not going to stop a determined criminal. Basically they're for simple peace-of-mind and so we can move in larger computer artifacts. Here are pictures of their current status: http://www.vcfed.org/evan/doubledoor.jpg (from inside our room) http://www.vcfed.org/evan/hallwaydoor.jpg (from the hallway side)
