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:
“Thou blind man’s mark, thou fool’s self-chosen snare,
Fond Fancy’s scum and dregs of scattered thought,
Band of all evils, cradle of causeless care,
Thou web of will whose end is never wrought;
Desire! desire, I have too dearly bought
With price of mangled mind thy worthless ware;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
“The City of New York is like an enormous citadel, a modern Carcassonne. Walking between the magnificent skyscrapers one feels the presence on the fringe of a howling, raging mob, a mob with empty bellies, a mob unshaven and in rags.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
