ABSTRACT
The essays in the volume Museums on the Web: Exploring the Past for the Future offer perspectives on the histories of museums on the web, drawing from a wide range of (inter) disciplinary perspectives, including those from museology, history, and computer science, and other fields. Many of the essays offer interdisciplinary approaches, as we welcomed authors to select and mix methodologies and resources as they see fit, including both traditional and web-archival resources. We also sought to balance insights from academics, curators, and museum professionals, ensuring a diversity of voices to present new and original perspectives on the histories of Museums on the Web.
