AMERICAN ART MUSEUMS on the WEB by Jeannette Dixon and Ana Christina Barata
INSPEL 33(1999)4, pp. 209-214 AMERICAN ART MUSEUMS ON THE WEB* By Jeannette Dixon and Ana Christina Barata There are 1620 art museum in the U.S. today, according to the Official Museum Directory, published by the American Association of Museums. Over half of them have Websites. However, only a few of the top museums have Internet access museumwide for the staff. According to Kathy Jones-Garmil in her book, The Wired Museum, we still have a long way to go before most of the world’s museums are on-line. The expense of maintaining a lively and up-to-date site presents a significant investment for any organization. A budget for its continued development needs to be made on an annual basis. Unless a Website is updated on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, information goes out of date and turns off users who depend on accurate, current information. The Worldwide Web came into being in 1994. The Web offered the ability to show images and text over the Internet. There was an explosion of interest in developing Web pages, and many art museums made their first Web page, trying to reach this new audience. An enthusiastic museum staff member who had some familiarity with the Internet, and who wanted to promote their institution usually created these Websites. It was exciting, because Web page publishing was instantaneous, giving the creator a sense of instant gratification. There was a great spirit of cooperation among the early Webmasters; little was written about how to create a museum "homepage." There was no software in the beginning to aid in building a Web page; each tiny element had to be individually coded.
