This would be for both individual exhibits and larger exhibitions. "Case studies" would be descriptions of projects that a contributor worked on. "Reviews" would be descriptions of exhibits/exhibitions that the contributor observed. Each of these types of descriptions would allow for images, video, documents, and other materials to be added to the ExhibitFiles "collection." So the long answer is "Yes" we hope to have the many of the materials that you've suggested. If you have suggestions about what you'd like to see on the site and what materials (and features) would be most useful, please feel free. One of the tougher tasks we have to prioritize what types of information from exhibits/exhibitions is most useful to exhibit developers. Jim Colin,

Labels, display, visitors, etc. If you know of any, I'm collecting URLs to such sites. This blog is great -- can't wait to read more.

The website Boxes and Arrows provides some good background about these methods, which could also be useful in exhibit planning.
