Online Museums #

In the last few months I've come across a few different "web museums" on sites like Hacker News and Reddit. They capture this wonderful niche of web 1.0 content.

In that I figured it would be good for me to start to capture some of these sites in a sort of living document about them, so I'll have place to come back to them

Definition of a online museum #

I'm currently unclear on this, but I think it has to be a collection of blog posts about a specific topic, as if you are visiting exhibits in a museum

The list #

• Coopers Tool Museum
• OS/2 Museum This one is more like somebody's blog, but its still interesting
• Des Paswson's Knot Tying Museum
• The Toaster Museum - this is the one that started this page for me
• The History of the Web - historical timeline of internet development
• Carabiner Collection - a collection and comparison of carabiners that you can go and browse
