This exhibit was produced through hard work and the cooperative efforts of volunteers throughout the City College and San Francisco community. Its construction and installation were funded through a number of funds within City College. All its samples, fossils, murals, and the majority of its panels were donated to City College. All design work, writing, and construction were completed by City College students and faculty. It is an exhibit that spans the content and hallways of all the Science and Engineering Departments in the college.
This exhibit covers a topic that receives varying degrees of attention and often incorrect understanding in certain parts of our city, state, country, and world. It is universal in its appeal and constant in its relevance. This exhibit also unique to the Bay Area as there are currently no other locations where the public can see fossil dinosaurs or engage in this important story. Please help us preserve this exhibit and tell this story!
For more information about our financial needs and interests, please download our written proposal.
We would love help with this project! We can use manual labor, artistry, and creativity -- ideas, time, or materials! Here are some of the things we'd like (and need) to do in the future:
- Protect and preserve the exhibit fossils and panels
- Update our existing content with new discoveries and research.
- Purchase and install a video monitor and DVD player for the Fossil Gallery
- Aquire a large METEORITE sample to add to our walk and which students can touch!
- Purchase and install more fossils and other samples (or obtain on loan from local museums such as the California Academy of Sciences)
- Purchase and install better lighting along display (including UV-block covers for fluorescent bulbs)
- Elevate the Dimetrodon Fossil on a pedestal
- Design and install more interactive exhibits along the walk
- Develop and print guides and activities for tour groups
- Develop a student-led tour program, especially for local high schools
- Maintain and keep our web pages up to date (or even just general website improvement).
