Museums On-line

Objects from the British Museum collections are now available through COMPASS (Collections Multi-media Public Access System) both on-line in the BM’s Reading Room and on the museum’s website (www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk). About 3000 objects have been selected as representative of the collections, and they are presented as high-quality colour images, with brief explanatory texts, the principal published references, and links to associated items. However, the search facilities are not sophisticated, and serious researchers should still contact the relevant department/curator.

Also on-line is the catalogue of the Cambridge University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology - no images here, but record cards giving the usual details of accessions - provenance, size, published references, etc. Searches are done by headings such as key word, material, site, etc, so can be very easily targeted to get precisely what you want. museum-server.archanth.cam.ac.uk.
