Hi Rick, I hope you're well. I'd like to include the new world cultures website in the next digital reviews in Museums Journal, and I just wondered if you had some images that you could send me to accompany this? Screengrabs don't normally looks great on our printed page, so pictures of objects from the collection would be ideal.
I hope that's okay. Best wishes,

Subject: [MCG] New Ethnography collections website launched
Hello
Working with Mike Ellis and the team at Thirty8 Digital we're pleased to launch our new World Cultures website. This website was last updated in 2009.
http://rammworldcultures.org.uk/
The two aims for the website are to be responsive and to include object records via the API from our online collections website. It also allowed us to apply a branded look and feel to the website that we will roll out across the rest of our subsites.
The challenges were sorting out content from 1998 to present and editing it down; creating a clearer navigation; applying branding produced for print to a website; ensuring the API worked as desired; meeting project deadlines and staying in budget.
I'm pleased to say that all challenges were met.
Do have a look at the website and any feedback on or off list welcome.
Regards
Rick
