Chad,

They've had a table at the Small Museums Association conference a couple
of times.  They seem to be legit, but as always you get a basic listing
for free, but if you want anything better, you have to pay.  I've never
seen MuseumsUSA.org pop up in a search for anything museum-based, but
you don't have anything to lose except the time it takes to update the
listing.

Good Morning,
We've recently been contacted by MuseumsUSA.org regarding our entries on

their website and I was wondering if anyone had any information about 
this organization. They've asked if our students would be willing to 
help update entries for museums in Iowa.  I'm not sure who actually gave

them the information about our collections but I'm glad that the 
information has been made public somewhere other than our own web 
pages.  Does anyone have any feedback regarding this site and/or the 
organization?  What are your thoughts on submitting information about 
other museums, assuming all submissions are factual and based on 
information provided on their websites or published materials?  Any 
thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Chad Landsman
