Multi‐disciplinary content management in “Darwin Country” – a case study

Abstract

“Darwin Country” is a website project giving access to images and information about the archives, paintings, decorative arts, archaeology and scientific collections of Shrewsbury Museums Service and its partners. By April 2002 the website had about 9000 pages and 6000 images. It is grant‐aided by the Resource IT Challenge Fund and the West Midlands Regional Museum Council. This database‐driven website utilises open‐source software to provide multi‐disciplinary content in a “knowledge‐net” environment created and maintained through a Content Management System. However, the author argues that “Content Management” is actually a process that involves more than a piece of software and should start with a vision and formulation of a strategy.
