Notes de l'éditeur
Make the point that the October launch will include about 90 objects from the collection online with interpretive texts, but work behind the scenes won’t stop on launch. Image digitization, content development and editing will continue until the entire collection is available online in 2005. Then the Terra can begin thinking about what they might do with this content for the future, having laid this important foundation.
The list on the slide addresses a wide variety of audiences. Will show examples of online exhibition, interactive calendar and teacher materials.
Previously there were two web sites, TMAA and MAAG. The fundamental change is that the Foundation’s Web site will now serve as an umbrella for both museum Web sites.
