Museum of the World
- sosuke 11y agoI remember some of the interactive CDROM encyclopedias that came out in the 90s. Encarta I think was one. They always had the coolest and hardest to use interfaces. I've got a Nat geo collection of a 100 years of their magazines (guessing) and it isn't really usable across a dozen disks. I wonder if this supports screen readers? The loading screen gives me warm fuzzy feelings about my days coding Flash. I haven't been able to see what is past the spotted screens yet because I'm using a 5 year old laptop. Latest Chrome, latest Safari. Someone else tell me if it is as cool a resource as I imagine! I tried again, still can't make it past the dots.
- schoen 11y agoWhat does the British Museum mean by this text (in several of the object descriptions)? "The British Museum acknowledges contemporary cultural perspectives associated with the objects in its collection. Please note: cultural rights may apply to this object."
