Hello everyone, 

I am forwarding this query from a friend of mine.  I was hoping to get some 
feedback to share with her:

"I am looking for any data about whether content-rich museum web sites 
result in increased onsite visitorship, or whether they have the opposite 
effect?"

"I am running into some folks  who seem to think that sharing lots of content 
online will cause people to NOT come to the museum itself, and was wondering 
if any research had been done about this. I, on the other hand, would guess 
that the opposite might be true."

If anyone has any thoughts/experiences with this, or any data regarding 
attendance trends, please contact me. Thank you very much for your time. 

Sincerely,

Laney McAdow
Registrar
The Heritage Society
