InfoAge Scientists: 

and more...

Member organizations, individual members, family visitors and school groups.

Funds for operations are expected to follow the model most current ASTC science centers enjoy.  One-third entrance fees and memberships, one-third private grants and funding events, and one-third government support.  The unique approach that the Infoage science-historycenter  has is its enabling of member organizations.  These organizations will participate in cost sharing by reserving space for offices and support staff.  They will also bring their successful programs and talented and dedicated members to help meet their educational goals at Camp Evans.  Some organizations are planning custom exhibits to feature their technology theme.  These groups, programs and exhibits will attract visitors to the center.  Their entrance fees and contributions will help with the operational costs.  Infoage has over 120 families as dues paying members prior to the centers opening.  Membership is expected to grow considerably once Wall Township and Infoage has access to Camp Evans for events and fund raising activities.  The entire program and all exhibits will be broken down to the task level where organizations can sponsor the creation of an exhibit or program and/or the operations of the exhibit or program over a period of 1, 3, or 5 years.  This will allow organizations to easily sponsor a specific part of the center they identify with.   The New Jersey Historical Commission also offers operational funding grants for historic preservation groups.

Seek existing collects as foundation exhibits.

To support as quick an opening as possible the center is seeking collections appropriate to its mission.  Currently one extensive collection has been donated and negotiations are concluding for a second.
In keeping with our high technology and communications theme the Grabbe Computer Packaging Collection was donated to Camp Evans.  This unique and extensive computer packaging collection spans from ENIAC (1946) to 1999.  It contains 7,000 objects and 45,000 customer color slides.  It was conservatively evaluated at $392,000.  The IEEE History Center and Prismark Partners have provided technical assistance.  IEEE members and IEEE student members of Penn State University, Harrisburg chapter will provide cataloging assistance.  An overview of the collection can be seen at: http://www.infoage.org/grabbe.html 
The National patent office, Washington, DC, donated 24 inventor exhibits to Camp Evans in 1998.  A number of the inventors featured in the exhibits, for example Marconi and Edwin Armstrong, actually worked at Camp Evans.
The National Broadcasters Hall of Fame was located in Freehold, NJ.  It is now in storage in the Los Angeles area.  The owner of the museum and collection would like to return it to NJ, specifically for display at Camp Evans.
