Curator & Collector

After around two months of blogging, Curator & Collector now has had over 1000 unique visitors. While our numbers have been small, they have been from interesting places. Our statcounter informs us we have had visitors from:

-various universities in Canada, and America, including the British Museum

-various museums, including the Textiles Museum, the Mingei, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and the Royal BC Museum

-the Smithsonian (a curator from which kindly sent us a nice little compliment)

-the Pentagon

-the State Department

-the New York Times

-the Bank of Canada

-the government of Canada

Now we are looking to take this to the next level. First, we want more sources of information. We want more news, more press releases, and more people writing museum-themed blogs! (Curators, professors, instructors, donors, connoisseurs and students could all help us out here.) Send us your information: we want to find more online material to link to and write about. (Material from Canada is especially welcome; if we could get enough of it, we would consider setting up a separate blog just for Canadian museums.)

Second, we want more visitors. You can help us out here; if you like this blog about museums, please spread the word. Put us in your bulletin, email our website link to your friends.

Third, we want to be better. Leave constructive comments. Email us. We can’t promise to be all things to all people, but we can promise to carefully consider every comment and email, and we would be most grateful your spreading the word. Thanks for your consideration, and remember that synergy builds interest!

And yes, we are still interested in numismatics; there will be a similar effort in that area shortly.
