I believe it is too soon to say what impact Web pages will have on museums. There certainly is no base of statistics. I think there is great potential of expanding the role of museums in society through the Internet. I do have a few anectdotes that suggest that Web pages can have an effect: * A business person attending a local conference attended a lecture at The Tech. He said he found out about it from our Web page -- and was quite pleased to find that we are located across the street from the Convention Center. * A local individual had heard of The Tech and finally decided to visit after checking out our Web page. * We have had several members join after visiting our Web page (without ever having visited our museum)!
