Museum Design

I am involved with the design and implementation of a small new museum on local mining history in my area. I would appreciate help locating information about the following areas:

Small museum design Web browser knowledge base systems for the display of archive material Special needs access requirements for museums Other mining museums and resources

Many thanks

Why not try the relevant museum associations, depending on your location? e.g., American Museum Association, state and provincial museum associations. They often have conferences and courses that may help you. For the web stuff, CHIN is probably a good place to start: http://www.chin.gc.ca/English/index.html

Another favorite resource: www.globalmuseum.com

For info on other mining museums, I typed mining museum into Google, and got 289,000 hits.
