Virtual Library museums pages
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Virtual Library museums pages (VLmp) form a leading directory of online museums around the world. The resource was founded by Jonathan Bowen in 1994, originally at the Oxford University Computing Laboratory in the United Kingdom. It is now supported by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) and Museophile. The main site is hosted at London South Bank University.
The directory is organized in a distributed manner by country with around twenty people in different countries maintaining various sections. Canada, through the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN), was the first country to become involved. The MDA maintain the United Kingdom section of museums.
