I wonder whether anyone can help in identifying the first museum homepages.
These presumably followed the availability of Mosaic in 1993 and not suprisingly
the University of Illinois's Krannert Art Museum appears to have been on the web
by the end of August in that year. However, the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill were offering a "virtual museum" a few weeks earlier (using Lynx?)
and the homepage of Berkeley's Museum of Paleontology was also available in that
year. Can anyone confirm this information or add to it?
Unfortunately, Museum-L which started in 1991 has only been archived since 1994;
otherwise the answer might have been there.
The information is required for an article on virtual museums, to be published
shortly and any help would be much appreciated. Contact can be made off-list.
