CFP - Museums and the Web

MW2010 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Deadline September 30, 2009

Museums and the Web 2010
the international conference for culture and heritage on-line
April 13-17, 2010
Denver, Colorado, USA
http://www.archimuse.com/mw2010/


Museums and the Web explores the social, cultural, design, technological, economic, and organizational issues of culture, science and heritage on-line. Taking an international perspective, MW reviews and analyzes the issues and impacts of networked cultural, natural and scientific heritage. Our community has been meeting since 1997, imagining, tracking, analyzing, and influencing the role museums play on the Web.


* CALL FOR PARTICIPATION *
Proposals are invited from professionals and researchers in all areas actively exploring the creation, on-line presentation and use of cultural, scientific and heritage content, and its re-use and evaluation.

The bibliography of past MW papers (all on-line since 1997) can be searched at http://conference.archimuse.com/researchForum/


* PROPOSAL FORM *
On-line proposal submission is required. Use the form at http://www.archimuse.com/mw2010/papers/mw2010.proposalForm.html
