| Abstract | These are exciting times for museums. Through new technologies like digital imaging and local and global networks, they are able to capture and share information on their collections in ways that have only become possible in the last few years. A look back at the history of the Museum Computer Network - almost thirty years - reveals the pioneering efforts in the area of museum automation. It has been a long courtship with technologies that only now are fulfilling the potential of the relationship. |
