Having only ever used Jonathon Bowen's Virtual Library of Museums
pages to access museum websites I visited the lists available in
the US with great interest. Unfortunately I couldn't access the
Museum of Paleontology in California nor the Los Angeles County
Musuem of Natural History (because of a warning in the latter case
of a security hazard in downloading information!).

Of the lists provided by the MCN and the Lost Museum of Science
(which I particluarly liked) I was wondering:
i) how many web-sites are there on each list?
ii) at what rate do the lists grow - for instance how many sites were
there on the list in December 1996 compared to now?
iii) is there a record of visitor numbers to the MCN list?

My query is related to research I am doing on museums and the
internet as part of my MA in Museum Stdies at Leicester University,
UK. Please see my survey on the Virtual Library of Museums.

If anyone can provide answers to the above I would be extremely
grateful. Many thanks.

Best wishes,
Rachel Reynolds
