So before I forget and just in case I can't find these later and am desperate for references for the papers I have and I get that feeling that someone has written something about that idea fiddling about in my head...here's a note the self....READ THESE FOR YOUR ESSAYS. Excuse the references in full, but I need to find 'em later.
Examples of crowdsourced exhibitions...Brooklyn Museum 'Click' looks great.
Links to a white paper and research findings 'For many years, art museums have been at the forefront of offering their visitors learning experiences that extend beyond traditional exhibit labels with gallery kiosks and audio guides. More recently, art museums continue leading the way by adding cell phone tours, podcasts, and platform-specific applications in an effort to capitalize on the commonly-owned portable devices—iPods, MP3 players, Blackberries, cell phones—that visitors already carry in their pockets. Museum professionals see great potential in reaching new audiences and pleasing old ones by providing content and social interaction via mobile devices. The biggest challenge is that many museums do not quite know where to begin when working with a small budget and small staff with limited technical knowledge.'
More research and tools from the Centre for History and New Media. Awesome site including a link to a number of papers and essays on new media and history. Fancy that.

Survey results from funnily enough a survey on the use of 'computer based' exhibits. Also results of an earlier survey on similar.
