When I talk of funding for research I am thinking our club could take an application from the student or group and finance the copying and digitizing of old photos and some travel expenses.  I know of several old Oliver dealers in the area one of which is still in operation selling other lines of farm equipment. This information, once collected could be shared with a museum quite easily.
   I attended our local C &amp; C meeting last night and there was a presentation from rep for Cable TV local access TV production. He said video cameras and editing help were available to do filming of events or interviews  for a nominal cost and as I understand it these same programs are available throughout the U.S.. 
   I would like to hear comments from other members to see if we could make this idea a reality.
