[Rockhounds] What do seek in on-line museum collections?

[Tim Fisher]

Have you been on the MyFossil Emuseum site? I think they have a pretty good
system but it's obviously in its infancy and is geared toward amateur fossil
collectors. https://www.myfossil.org/emuseum/

At the Falls of the Ohio State Park, we've been digitizing our collection
for a few years. The next step is developing a web site devoted to public
access. Our collections are infinitesimal compared to the Smithsonian but
contain a good variety of Silurian and Devonian fossils, along with a few
minerals, diverse prehistoric artifacts, and lots of flat documents (article
clippings, historical photos, maps, etc.).

The goal is to have a website with access to our images and data for
students, scientists & historians and the curious public.

What search fields you would look for to help you identify a fossil or other
items? Have you seen the 'ideal' museum collections website? What is it?
