P3D need suggestions for a 3-d exhibit

I'm organizing a 3-d exhibit at our local city museum in Juneau,
Alaska. Our deadline is May 14, and it will run one or two years. I
have an extensive collection of early Alaska stereoviews to choose
from for the historic stuff. We will have one small room, about 12
feet by 25 feet to set up this exhibit. The exhibit will be about
half historic stereoviews, stereoscopes, and old stereo cameras. The
first photographs ever taken in Juneau Alaska were stereographs taken
  in 1881.

The other half of the exhibit will be Viewmaster through
modern 3-d imaging. We will have a computer set up for school kids
(ages elementary through high school) to look at 3-d web sites, and
I'm collecting URL's for that. Any educational 3-d sites to recommend?

What cutting-edge technologies should we display, other than the
obvious anaglyphs?

I think I have all the Viewmaster reels of Alaska, but if someone
knows of any rare ones that I might have missed, please advise. The
emphasis will be on the Juneau Alaska area.

We have a Viewmaster personal camera & cutter that we are
experimenting with. We want to copy Holmes style stereoviews to
Viewmaster format. I know it was done with Civil War views for an NSA
  convention reel. Anyone know how they did that? Are close-up lenses
available for the Viewmaster camera for copying work?

We will have one of John Jensen's Vintage Viewers set up. And lots of
  Viewmasters with reels.

We hope to have one of the new Epson 44" wide printers to print much
of the wall display material, and to print copies of the rarer stereoviews.

Any ideas will be much appreciated!

Thanks.  Dick Wood,
