Dear Robert and Listers:

I agree that the establishment of a web site is a very cost effective
method for a small museum to reach it's public.  In fact, a web site is
a very effective method for a new or "start-up" museum to communicate
its proposed concept and programs - and even to solicit funds
"On-Line."  A web site is a great "leveler of the playing field" for any
museum.

The one piece of advice I would give - to a large or small museum - is
not to invest in your own server system.  There are many firms and
organizations out there who will provide all of the services you require
at very little initial outlay of funds.  Your server does not have to be
in the same city, state, or indeed, the same country.

Take a look at our web site, and if you are interested in costs,
services, etc., E Mail me and I will be happy to provide them.

Kind Regards

Roger Wulff
