Dear Listees:
Greetings all. I've been somewhat quiet on the List these past few
months, but I have a good excuse:
It is with great pleasure that I can today announce the completion
of a major new website for the Meteorite Museum at the University of
New Mexico's Institute of Meteoritics.
The University maintains an excellent small museum on campus, and I
know some of you have visited it. Plans for a new physical museum
have been drawn up, and the first step towards achieving that goal
was the creation of a modern, interactive website. The site includes
the following:
- A comprehensive animated Virtual Tour of the educational material
which the new museum will feature. This is a wonderful resource and
includes detailed information on the Solar System, comets,
asteroids, chondrites, differentiated meteorites, impact craters,
the Moon, Mars and a great deal more
- Architect's plans for the new museum
- An extensive gallery of new, original meteorite photographs from
the IOM collection
- A gallery of thin section photographs
- A guide to New Mexico meteorites
- Features on meteorite identification, teacher activities, and microscopes
I had the privilege of working closely with Dr. Rhian Jones and Dr.
Barbara Cohen at UNM during the concept, design, and construction of
this site. Many of the best ideas came from them, and they
contributed to the genesis of the site in all areas. In particular,
Rhian devised the text and content for the Virtual Tour and Barbara
designed many of the banners and provided photos, graphics, as well
as concepts for the site structure. My senior design assistant Karl
Covington executed the animation, as well as image rendering,
design, and typesetting, and the final product benefited greatly
from all their efforts.
I'd like thank Dr. Jones, Dr. Cohen and their colleagues for the
opportunity to serve as art director for this fascinating project
and I hope you will all enjoy the new site.
Here it is: http://epswww.unm.edu/meteoritemuseum/
