Certianly, here it is: http://www.lam.mus.ca.us/webmuseums The Guide to Museums and Cultural Resources provides a comprehensive index for information about museums, aquaria, historical parks and other cultural institutions. It was designed to accomodate information about a variety of resources of interest to the arts/cultural/scientific/educational community. The Guide to Museums and Cultural Resources will assist the traveler in searching for and locating museums and cultural resources. The basic menus are set up according to the geographic location of the resource. There are two reasons for this: 1.To permit new information to be added to a single list, rather than to several subject lists. 2.To permit the traveler to easily find museums and cultural resources when planning a physical journey. It is hoped that attendance at these public institutions may be increased by publication on the World Wide Web. This site also features a powerful search engine. The engine searches an external database, not the web page, so the searches are fast. The data can be sorted to pull out resources by subject or geographic location. The guide is designed to permit the community to directly add data. I encourage anyone associated with an institution or resource which is not listed to add that information. If you are unhappy with an existing listing, either ask me to delete the old entry before adding the replacement, or add a new entry with a slightly different name and ask me to delete the old entry. The guide has received considerable attention and will soon be listed by AOL. At present, the guide gets about 100,000 hits per month. I would appreciate any links back to the guide and would like to receive your comments. I can easily modify the site to include a wider variety of information. Since I have a science background, the site is biased towards the sciences, but this can be changed. The site uses a PERL script based upon the shareware script developed by Matt Kruse. It is composed of over 2000 lines of code and represents a considerable amount of intensive labor (my partner noted my absence from home). Much of that effort was spent converting my old Filemaker Pro database. For those of you interested in the more technical details... When records are added, two things happen. First the script creates a new subdirectory and index page on our server (when required) and adds a subset of the information. Second, the script updates a database file with the complete information. This means that one searches the database, not the html pages. It also means that no html authoring is done, and the data can be easily exported into other databases when the time comes to create another new final version. I hope you visit our new improved guide...
