Museums and the Web addresses the social, cultural, design, technological, economic, and organizational issues of culture, science and heritage on–line. Taking an international perspective, senior speakers with extensive experience in Web development review and analyze the issues and impacts of networked cultural, natural and scientific heritage. Together, we are transforming communities and organizations.
