I have switched gears... I would rather spend my time exploring image websites than writing grants.
I was recently asked to research websites for Pre-Raphaelite paintings. The Birmingham Museum site is particularly rich, allowing viewers to create on-line studies based on the collections.
Here are some great resources for this topic:

Pulling all these online resources together like this is a valuable thing to do. Have you also seen http://chagbm.blogspot.com/2010/04/collection-focus.html 10works from The Cecil Higgins collection from the original three, plus we're adding more next week from William Morris, Burne-Jones and other associated figures.
