Dear Colleagues,

Two deadlines for the Museums and the Web Conference are fast approaching.

DEMONSTRATIONS
Proposals are invited from museum staff to demonstrate their web sites in
the MW99 demonstration hall. This popular venue provides one-on-one contact
with the visitors to your site, and gives you an opportunity to showcase
your latest developments, and try out new ideas. Proposals are due December
31, 1998; see
http://www.archimuse.com/mw99/mw99.call.html

EARLY REGISTRATION
The deadline for receipt of your registration at the early registration
rate is December 31, 1998. When combined with the MW98 Money that some of
you may still have from last year's conference, this is a significant
discount over regular registration rates.

PRELIMINARY PROGRAM AVAILABLE
You can see the full program for MW99, including speakers' biograpies and
abstracts, online at http://www.archimuse.com/mw99/

With warm wishes for a Happy Holiday Season, and a succesful New Year!

Dear Colleagues,

We've come a long way since the first Museums and the Web Conference in Los
Angeles, in March of 1997. But we still don't have consensus about what
makes a good museum web site. You can help us discover the unknown
treasures of the Museum Web.

Once again, an international panel of judges will pick the Best of the Web
for museums and cultural heritage. Awards will be given at the Museums and
the Web annual meeting, in New Orleans, March 11-14, 1999. See the full
program online at http://www.archimuse.com/mw99.

Nominate your Favorite Museum or Related Web Sites for the Best of the Web
1999. Awards will be given in a number of categories:

* Online Exhibitions
* Educational
* Membership
* Professional
* Research

You can find the nomination form linked to
http://www.archimuse.com/mw99/best/index.html

All nominations will be reviewed by a panel of judges, and they will make
the final decision on awards. The judges particularly value collaboration,
as it offers many benefits, enhancing creativity and sharing resources
efficiently.
