You came to the right place. Our document, artifact and photo collections are indexed on our website. We are in the midst of developing the Texas History Internet Consortium that will, initially, bring the collections of four other museums and a major library on line, all searchable simultaneously from any one site. The initial development of the consortium is funded by Houston Endowment, Inc. The first phase is just about complete. Our Internet consultant is Information Access Institute under the direction of Kevin Marsh a former NASA archivist who put the shuttle images on line. He and I did a full day workshop at AASLH in Sacramento and can probably repeat that presentation in Santa Fe if you are interested. Let us know. ------ Robert Handy Brazoria County Historical Museum 100 East Cedar Angleton, Texas 77515 (409) 864-1208 museum_bob [log in to unmask] http://www.bchm.org ---------- From: Matt Mayberry[SMTP:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 1999 7:15 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Web Databases I am looking for museums preferably in the Mountain-Plains Region who have published or are contemplating publishing their collections databases on the World Wide Web. I'm trying to put together a session for the Mountain-Plains Museum Association Annual Meeting in Santa Fe, NM, October 14-17, 1999 on the internal debate that an institution goes through in preparation for this project, i.e. what data do you present, how much information do you give out, how clean should the records be, etc.? Deadline for session proposals is January 15th. Anyone interested in participating? A prompt reply would be most appreciated. Please reply to: Dave Ryan [log in to unmask]
