[SCC_Active_Members] RE: Not re-inventing wheels, or designing angular wheels

[Kirsten Tashev]

Absolutely. Museums and the Web conference is particularly good and has
been around for some time, e.g. since 1997, some CHM staff have been
fortunate enough to attend the last few years.

I might not have reminded you that there currently is a ferment of
activity around digital content management for cultural history
institutions.  Papers in the conference announced in the attached e-mail
might be be of interest to you.
