UMAC Worldwide database of university museums and collections

Dear UMAC members, colleagues and Friends,

We have just completed the design update of UMAC Worldwide Database of University Museums and Collections (initially developed in 2001):

http://university-museums-and-collections.net/ 

The new database is more attractive, functional, user-friendly, and so much easier to navigate. Now, it also has maps and images.

Take some time to explore it -- here are some examples to get you started:

http://university-museums-and-collections.net/la-plata/museum-of-la-plata 

http://university-museums-and-collections.net/shanghai/qian-xuesen-library-museum

http://university-museums-and-collections.net/lisbon/ajuda-astronomical-observatory-muhnac

The UMAC database is the largest in the world. It's an extraordinary tool for the international visibility of your university museum or collection and a powerful gateway to your own (and you university's) website and resources.

So -- use it intensely.

It's not UMAC's, it's yours.

Warmest wishes,

Marta Lourenzo
