Re: [MCN-L] Funding for Digital Media
Hi Robin, In Canada, there is also the Virtual Museum of Canada investment program, managed by the Canadian Museum of History. We support the creation of virtual exhibits, virtual tours, games, apps, educational resources, and other online products, in both official languages.

These grants cover a broad range of “digital,” from media production(video, interactive, web, mobile, AR,VR), to TV production, to digital staff and digitizing collections. These are the funding sources I have so far, in no particular order: 1. NEH 2. IMLS 3. The Knight Foundation 4. Bloomberg Philanthropies 5. Samuel Kress Foundation 6. MacArthur Foundation 7. NEA 8. Mellon Foundation in Canada: 9. Documentary Heritage Communities Program 10. Canada Council for the Arts Google Arts was also suggested. I’m not sure how to evaluate that since they create digital projects for museums, rather than contributing to museum initiated projects. What do you think? Should hardware manufacturers and software developers, who tend to cherry pick projects, also be included? I know funding patterns change over time but I’m interested in putting together a list of programs that are ongoing or have been sustained over a period of years. It would be great to add to this list, and then include how much money each source has granted, over the past 5 years or so. It’s time consuming research! I need a smart intern! Looking forward to more conversation on this.

Re: [MCN-L] Multilingual websites
The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam offers its whole website in Dutch and English, and key visit information in 9 other languages.

I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations about language translation for museum websites. Currently, the Exploratorium has a series of single pages for visit planning for seven non-English languages (e.g., https://www.exploratorium.edu/es). But as we try to attract and serve more non-English speakers, we're thinking about other approaches. For instance, for anyone who is using (or has used) a Google Translate widget in your universal footer or header, did you find it successful? Did it get good usage? It occurred to me that I don't really have a sense of -- broadly -- how people use foreign language websites. Are they translating at browser level (or device level), making a site-specific widget superfluous? Or is a widget actually useful? Any insights or stats are appreciated! - Mark -- Mark Andrews | Director of Online Media e x p l O r a t o r i u m mandr...@exploratorium.edu mobile: 415-830-1578 ___ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l@mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/mcn-l@mcn.edu/ ___ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l@mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/mcn-l@mcn.edu/
Re: [MCN-L] Funding for Digital Projects
I'd like a copy too, please Robin. North of the border, the Virtual Museum of Canada, the Documentary Heritage Communities Program, and the Canada Council for the Arts all provide funding for digital media projects in museums.

[MCN-L] Looking for a brief history of the web
I'm looking to the list for recommendations for a very brief history of the web (and related developments), and how it has changed over the past 15-20 years. It's for a talk to an audience with little prior knowledge of the subject, so a bulleted list or an infographic highlighting, for example, the rise of internet participation/social media/mobile over time would be great. A global or North American slant is fine. Credit will, of course, be given.
