Here's the situation as I understand it; presumably the CHM folks on this
list will confirm, correct, or expand on it.

Because of the space requirements for the upcoming Timeline exhibit, CHM
has moved the archives to an offsite facility about 10 miles away. However
it should be possible to set up a work area at the Museum in Mountain View
capable of holding most if not all of the Stoyan collection. This would
provide us access, for example, for photographing physical objects,
scanning photographs, and cataloging and scanning documents.
