Web Presence
In 2007, the National Museum of African American History and Culture became the first major museum to open on the Web before completing a physical structure. The Web site includes the museum's first exhibit, mounted in New York City. It is also designed to encourage collaboration between scholars and the public. The main feature of the Web-based initiative is the Memory Book application, which allows individuals to contribute to the Web site via pictures, a story, or audio application, to spotlight unique experiences in African-American culture.

Famous quotes containing the words web and/or presence:
“However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We are ashamed to seem evasive in the presence of a straightforward man, cowardly in the presence of a brave one, gross in the eyes of a refined one, and so on. We always imagine, and in imagining share, the judgments of the other mind.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
