Dear Colleagues,
We've come a long way since the first Museums and the Web Conference in Los
Angeles, in March of 1997. But we still don't have consensus about what
makes a good museum web site. You can help us discover the unknown
treasures of the Museum Web.
Once again, an international panel of judges will pick the Best of the Web
for museums and cultural heritage. Awards will be given at the Museums and
the Web annual meeting, in New Orleans, March 11-14, 1999. See the full
program online at http://www.archimuse.com/mw99.
Nominate your Favorite Museum or Related Web Sites for the Best of the Web
1999. Awards will be given in a number of categories:
* Online Exhibitions
* Educational
* Membership
* Professional
* Research
You can find the nomination form linked to
http://www.archimuse.com/mw99/best/index.html
All nominations will be reviewed by a panel of judges, and they will make
the final decision on awards. The judges particularly value collaboration,
as it offers many benefits, enhancing creativity and sharing resources
efficiently.
