MuseumsWiki Welcome! J. Bowen This is a Wiki for museums, set up by Jonathan Bowen in 2006. It is intended for museum personnel to participate in populating this wiki with museum-related material, typically in a form that is more detailed than suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. It concentrates on technological aspects, especially museum-related wikis. Do also visit the Virtual Museum of Computing, now on this wiki. — Jonathan Bowen See top-level categories to get started perusing entries in the wiki. You are invited to expand one of the 187 existing articles or to add a new entry. You can also scan newly created pages and wanted pages. There is an associated Museums Wiki blog for comments and queries about the wiki. You can also use the Forum to discuss related topics. Artikel in Deutsch You might read this random article: Global Museum Help · About · Current events · FAQ · Forum
Further information For information on using this wiki, see the paper A Museums Wiki at the MW2007 Museums and the Web conference. For information on documenting museums on Wikipedia, see the paper Museums and Wikipedia at the previous MW2006 conference. It is recommended that you read these papers first before attempting to edit this wiki. You are welcome to interlink Wikipedia museums pages and pages on this wiki if you wish, as appropriate. This wiki is best for more detailed multi-page information, Wikipedia is appropriate for a one-page entry on most museums. In addition, an article on wiki↑s in general and Wikipedia in particular appeared in the Times Higher Education Supplement on 21 July 2006.
