I completely agree that museums should explore making their collections available via an API. A few collections are starting to explore opeing their search mechnism using A9. Powerhouse museum is doing this http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/dmsblog/index.php/2006/06/16/search-the-powerhouse-museum-collection-via-a9/ Thanks for the mention of Museumblogs.org we'll probably come close to 100 museum blogs by the end of the year!

I'll get onto fixing up the last few things with the Dana Centre site that you mentioned - still a few bugs unfortunately!

thanks for the link. I’ll get onto fixing up the last few things with the Dana Centre site that you mentioned – still a few bugs unfortunately!
