MuseWeb (formerly Museums and the Web[1][2][3][4]) is an annual international conference in the field of museums and their websites. It was founded and organized by Archives & Museum Informatics and has taken place each spring since 1997 in North America,[5][6] along with events in other countries.

Since 2011 it has been organized by Museums and the Web LLC[7][8][9] and Co-Chaired by Nancy Proctor[10] and Rich Cherry,[11] who also co-edit the proceedings.[12][13]

Overview

[edit]

The conference includes the GLAMi awards[14][15][16](The Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums Innovation awards) which recognizes the best GLAM work in the sector. Projects are nominated by GLAM professionals from around the world and reviewed by a committee of peers.[17] The conference previously included annual "Best of the Web awards" for museum-related websites in a number of different categories, as well as an overall winner.[18]
