Abstract: ISSN: 0193-0826 Pub Date: 1/14/2003
Graduate students in a seminar on cultural heritage resources closely compared the experience of responding to museum artifacts in gallery settings with how those same artifacts might be experienced as digital surrogates. After learning to articulate precise differences between the “real” and the “represented,” students applied their understanding of the relative strengths of Web technology to create online experiences for three area museums that were rooted in the fundamental principles of museum learning. The student sites thus transcend much current practice and point the way to exciting new possibilities for future museum Web sites.
Journal Title: Journal of Library Administration 39, 2/3: 107-122.
In the years since the appearance of the first museum Web sites, most museums have established some presence on the World Wide Web. Museums have much to learn from each other, and from developers using the Web for other applications. To facilitate this exchange of information, Archives & Museum Informatics organises an annual international conference devoted exclusively to Museums and the Web. MW is the largest international conference devoted to the exploration of art, science, natural and cultural heritage on-line.
MW has been held every spring since 1997. Full programs and full papers from past conferences remain available.

NMAI - Virtual Museum (workshops), http://www.nmai.si.edu/collaboration/files/NMAIProgramGuide_ENG_vmw.pdf
In the Virtual Museum Workshop, Native students learn to use modern technologies to create compelling virtual exhibitions that reflect the students’ cultures. Workshop participants digitally image objects in the museum’s collections, process the photographs on a computer, and create interactive images that may be rotated or magnified on-screen. The students also research the objects using materials from the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) and Smithsonian Institution libraries, and write labels for them that can be used to create virtual exhibitions. Demonstrations, performances, or Native language elements may be added using digital audio or video. The students’ work is featured in the NMAI Resource Centers, the students’ schools, and/or tribal museums and cultural centers. Past workshops have helped to create a virtual tour of the Our Universes gallery, a major permanent exhibition currently on view at NMAI in Washington, D.C.
Similarly, workshop participants have helped to create virtual tours of past exhibitions, including two at the NMAI’s George Gustav Heye Center in New York. To view an example, visit: All Roads Are Good, http://www.americanindian.si.edu/exhibitions/all_roads_are_good/ . In the future, the NMAI website will host several more student-produced virtual tours.

||||||||| Traveling Exhibitions, http://www.nmai.si.edu/subpage.cfm?subpage=collaboration&second=exhibitions
Traveling exhibitions are two-dimensional banner shows that are affordable; easy to transport, install, and de-install; and specifically designed to accommodate limited environmental and security resources at some venues. The program’s inaugural traveling exhibition, Native Words, Native Warriors, developed in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), tells the story of Native American servicemen who used their indigenous languages on behalf of the U.S. military during World Wars I and II. Although the story of the Navajo Code Talkers is familiar to most people, many are unaware that men from the Choctaw, Comanche, Cree, Crow, Dakota Sioux, Hopi, Lakota Sioux, Menominee, Meskwaki, Muscogee, Seminole, Navajo, and Oneida Nations also used Native languages in defense of their country. Smithsonian researchers interviewed Native veterans of World War II in preparation for this project.
