A sheet of plywood for any size that you see fit, covered with any color
of
car upholstery (the foam type that you attach to the inside of your car
roof...which can be purchased at most fabric stores), the fabric then
stapled to the back of the plywood with an electric stapler, and then
mounted to a wall with screws and screw washers always worked well for
me.
Two of these units can then be placed back to back if you are making a
divider. You can then attach labels with the hook side of Velcro tape
to
the upholstered surface.

Subject: Designs for display boards
The Franklin Historical Society would like a good resource for
building display boards, bulletin boards and display dividers for
museums. These would be built by volunteers
with materials that would be found at a local building supply store.
Thank you!
