Hi Rich, hi all,
there is already a number of physical artifacts which are significant to the GRASS project (printed documentation with autographs, tape reels, etc.).
Maybe there will be someday a "shrine of GRASS" in one particular physical location (Urbana-Champaign ? Hannover ? Baylor ?).
In the meantime we could list and track the artifacts in the wiki in a "virtual shrine", so we know who's currently the caretaker of each artifact and where it's located.
To make the artifacts citeable by DOI, we could assign "landing pages" for them in a repository, like Zenodo. Landing pages can be updated when the caretaker changes or the artefact is moved to another pyhsical location.
This would be very easy to achieve, as all of the infrastructure is already in place.
Shall we give this a try ?
best,
Peter

Peter,
Perhaps the osgeo.org would provide a place. They could also include SAGA
and other open-source GIS tools, including a room dedicated to Frank
Warnerdam and Bill (I forget his last name) who worked at the USGS and
greatly contributed open-source code.

I have numerous items here in Bonn (G 3.2 tape, several issues of the
"GRASS Clippings", 4.x manual, etc.
Making a virtual exhibition would be fun!
