You might be wondering what exactly is an online exhibit? Museums, libraries, archives, associations all publish digital exhibits on the web these days, and these exhibits allow organizations to bring the public’s attention to important or interesting objects and stories from their collections. See for example, the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire exhibit at the National Archives. Thus, an online exhibit is both informational yet also a public relations tool.
