About MuseumBlogs.org
MuseumBlogs.org is a directory of museum and museum-related blogs as well as a space for re-postings and roundups. The purpose of the site is to raise awareness and increase the authority of blogs focusing on museum issues. Authority is used by search engines to filter results. The more links, the more authority and more visible a blog will become.
The Directory
A publicly editable, moderated directory provides a central website for listings to museum and museum-related blogs.
The Blog
We encourage re-posting from qualified blogs and bloggers. The aim of MuseumBlogs.org is to drive visitors to other museum blogs and increase their authority. If you're interested in re-posting or creating roundups which focus on the museum blog world, please feel free to contact us for password and log in information.
Who and Why?
This site was developed by Ideum. We're a small design company that develops interactive exhibits and websites for museums. The idea for MuseumBlogs.org came about after we developed a survey of museum blogs & community sites in March of 2006. One of the major outcomes was that the vast majority of museum blogs lack authority which was covered in a follow up post on the Ideum blog. It's our hope that MuseumBlogs.org will help increase communities’ awareness and authority.
Policies
MuseumBlogs.org is run as a public service and encourages community participation. The site does not accept commercial advertising of any kind.

In an earlier lifetime as a curator, on a visit to Florence Italy in 1996, I made arrangements to meet with Maurizio Seracini, Director of Editech, a company specializing in diagnostic imaging of art works. In terms of full disclosure, let me say that Seracini is an independent professional, a respected colleague, and

I was told that the stamp above (of the 1987 Central Business District) also shows the Asia Insurance Building. One just have to take a closer look and look out for the characteristic shape and structure of the Asia Insurance Building, and presto, one will find it on this stamp. The…

Dear Miss Griffis;-
Your very welcome letter of June 4 is to hand. Our rests out of the trenches are now so short that one has hardly time to get caught up with correspondence before the battalion has to go in again. There is a rumor going that all letters from the
