Hi Tracy,
Thank you for the reply. It is interesting to see how institutions handle
archived material and its access. I also have a broader question than
'archiving exhibits'; I think I need to reword my original inquiry. I'm
also interested in how museums are handling the lifecycle of any online
material. If, for example, a museum has a lot of online educational
material, how do they determine what they keep 'active' on the site, or
how do they decide what to place in an archive or remove entirely.
Does anyone have any criteria for those situations?
Thanks again,
Sheila

Subject: Re: Criteria for Assessing Virtual Exhibitions
Hi Sheila,
I have a monthly online exhibition Archive of the
Month<http://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/archive-centre/archive-month/index.html
>and
we archive each edition at the bottom of the page. I forsee us doing
this indefinitely. I routinely get enquiries based on earlier editions.
Best wishes
Tracy
