Title: SM SIG: Co-opertive techology projects involving small museums

Sorry, but I don't know how to reply just to David.  We are a small museum in western MA and have created a website that is the cooperative project among five different cultural groups:  Raid on Deerfield: The Many Stories of 1704 (www.1704.deerfield.history.museum).  We did present at the recent MCN conference.  Not sure if this is what you are looking for.    Best regards,   Lynne Spichiger, Ed.D.

The proposed panel session will highlight co-operative projects or consortiums aimed at assisting small museums with some aspect of computer technology, e.g. automated collections management systems, digitization projects, virtual exhibits, etc. I would therefore like to know of any grassroots collaboration projects which involve small museums or archives adopting computer technologies. If there is such a project in your area please either pass on my e-mail address to the project manager or reply to this message either on the listserv or off. The proposal deadline is Feb. 11 and I am looking for someone who can make a 20-25 minute presentation on their project as part of a panel session. I already know of the Passages Project in Nova Scotia, the Colorado Digitization Project and a museum web project based in the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. I am particularly interested in projects based in regions in Eastern Canada or North-eastern US (so that travel to Boston is not as much of an issue) or which have participants who are already planning to come to the MCN Boston Conference.
