Ray You might like to look at www.unionhistory.info This is the website of the TUC Library Collections in London. It is designed to appeal to both serious researcher and casual visitor with an illustrated Timeline as well as 100 years of TUC Reports to wade through if you wish.

London's Burning - explore how the Great Fire of London shaped the city we see today www.museumoflondon.org.uk/londonsburning -----Original Message----- From: Museums Computer Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ray Shah Sent: 27 September 2007 02:15 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Inspirational Archives Dear All, (Apologies for duplication MCN/MCG subscribers) I am hoping you can help me find what I would in short describe as an inspirational (digital) archive. Models for us to follow. I am referring to the kind of resource that will facilitate both novice and expert users in discovering resources. Too often, I have seen archives rely on in-depth knowledge on the part of the user, to come up with precise terms that happen to coincide with keywords or descriptions. I understand taxonomy and tagging have roles to play that can help here, but what's being used to good effect now? Furthermore, the resource should allow browsing as a way of discovering/honing-in on areas of interest. Art world archives would be ideal, but any state-of-the-art resource will do. I checked back through the last few months of my mailings, and aside from conference invitations that sound pretty exciting, did not find what I'm looking for. Many thanks. -- - Ray Ray Shah think design, inc. retail museum education software development open source tel: 212.922.0952 x212 mobile: 917.476.0952 web: http://www.thinkdesign.com email: [log in to unmask] ************************************************** For mcg information and to manage your subscription to the list, visit the website at http://www.museumscomputergroup.org.uk ************************************************** ************************************************** For mcg information and to manage your subscription to the list, visit the website at http://www.museumscomputergroup.org.uk **************************************************
