20.5.2009: Over 200 pages, and 250 topics: The Virtual Museum has now grown to over 200 pages covering over 250 topics.

22.4.2009: Our first video: We have included our first video - of the Bellman Robin Tubb calling commoners to the Commoners' Court on Tutti-Day.

10.3.2009: A technical hitch resolved: The wider distribution of the website brought to light a couple of technical issues on certain platforms. In particular, some visitors found that the "rotating picture" feature, where many pictures were displayed in a single window changing every few seconds, did not work properly on their computers. For most people the window was displayed as a plain grey box; for others (just some Mozilla Firefox users on Vista) found that it caused Firefox to hang. Until this has been resolved, all "rotating pictures" have been removed from the website, and replaced by photo galleries.

8.3.2009: Time for a little advertising: Now that there is sufficient "core" content, it is time to bring the existence of the Virtual Museum to more people's awareness. With this in mind, Some simple e-mails and press releases have been sent.

22.2.2009: Google has found us! After only eight days since the first pages of the Virtual Museum were posted on the web, Google has found us! Anyone entering the words Hungerford Virtual Museum now finds the Virtual Museum as the top site.

14.2.2009: The launch of the Virtual Museum website: Valentine's Day 2009 marks the launch of the Virtual Museum! The task is huge, and will be an ongoing project for many years to come. Content of the museum will continue to grow - so do keep re-visiting!
