About MuseumBlogs.org
MuseumBlogs.org is a directory of museum and museum-related blogs as well as a space for re-postings. 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
All of the posts are from the RSS feeds of the blogs included in the directory. The large number of categories come directly from the individual blogs. We developed the "AutoAggregator" to bring in these feeds and create the short postings that you see.
Who and Why?
This site was developed by Ideum. We're an interactive design company that develops interactive exhibits and websites for museums. (See our portfolio to learn more about what we do.) The idea for MuseumBlogs.org came about after we conducted an informal survey museum blogs & community sites in March of 2006. In 2007, Ideum and Powerhouse Museum conducted the first comprehensive museum blog survey for the Museums and the Web conference. It's our hope that MuseumBlogs.org will help increase the community's awareness and authority.
Policies
MuseumBlogs.org is run as a public service and encourages community participation. The site does not accept advertising.

I’ve been reading the same book for 2 years. Yep, that’s right. I may have all kinds of other commitment issues in my life, but when it comes to books, I’m in it for the long haul. Sure I’ve read other books along the way. Books that are way more entertaining.

Two whole days have passed by, two mails have been delivered, and still there is no mail for me, not even a card to say that you have become tired of being a war widow and have cast me off. I am indeed feeling desolate. It may be though

A couple of weeks ago I received a package which, to my great joy and surprise, contained five copies of my biography of Niels K. Jerne (Science as Autobiograhy, Yale UP, 2003) in a Japanese translation.
The rights were sold to the big Tokyo publisher Igaku Shoin already in 2004. But I never heard anything from them, and occasional inquiries never yielded anything
