Marla, I operate a portal site to a wide range of "museum" topics .. with the primary mission of helping the public discover and interact with museums online. - It's evolved iteratively over the years (online since Dec 1999) .. and is more mish-mash of topics than logical progression .. however it has generally received positive reviews in the media .. (Most recently, the New York Times claimed it to be the most user-friendly of the "meta-museum" sites).
The most fundamental hierarchy? - Art, History, Science .. then some suggestive options are presented from there. - (Mind you, the VAST majority of the "fresh" traffic to the site comes from search engines that have crawled the many sub-pages .. and that is a very important consideration when designing a collections or other branching topic directory .. but also another topic for discussion in its own right.) http://www.museumstuff.com -- Roy Hemmat Director, Discovery Media http://www.MuseumStuff.com ** 1000's of museums and educational links now available through our award-winning gateway > Do you have broad categories that you use at the top level of your website's > collections hierarchy? ..
