Robbin,
 
The Dallas Museum of Art has an Internet gopher service that provides
museum information and digital images for public access.  Currently I have
made 25 images of permanent collection objects available in GIF89a format.
 Each image has a text extension block that includes the label information
on the piece and a small didactic statement that was written by either a
curator or museum educator.  Since I started the project in late January,
I have received over 800 responses from users all over the world, and the
project has been noted in 3 "users guides" to the Internet, and is
featured in this month's issue of "Internet World."
 
All images are are at standard VGA resolution (640x480x256), and bear a
copyright notice on the image itself and in the text comments.  I also
provide a small selection of shareware image viewing software for users to
download.  We are currently seeking funds to expand the project and
provide 2-3000 images on the net.
 
We are working with the University of North Texas on the project; the
gopher address is "gopher.unt.edu."  You can find the DMA under menu
option 5 - "Denton, Dallas & Fort Wroth Information."
 
regards,
