[OPLINTECH] need help with a project

[Stephen Hedges]

One other thing that might be a problem -- the Historical Society cannot use a library IP address (see http://oplin.org/content/policy-extending-oplin-other-public-institutions, third bullet point). This is especially important since the in-library-only license agreement for Ancestry Library Edition would not allow them access, though I'll bet they'd love to use it.
