AMICO was a not-for-profit organization based in the USA (but with UK affiliates as well) which brought together institutions with collections of art for educational use through museum multimedia. Records include high resolution images, multiple views, video and detailed cataloguing information. Full use of the Library is only available through subscription, but sample records are available and a thumbnail image is available for the entire collection. The range of images encompasses contemporary art, Native American and Inuit art, ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian works, along with Japanese and Chinese works. Note - The Consortium was dissolved in June 2005 but the website remains online for archival reasons.

Based at the University of Hamburg in Germany, this site is subtitled "Unwrapping a Mummy by Mouse Click " and it aims to do just that. The mummy is that of a 30-year old woman from about 2300 years ago, and we are shown how the body was first scanned in to the computer, then reconstructed using CGI. The final results, which require QuickTime to view, allow the user to look at the different parts of the skull in six different ways. These include x-rays of the head and teeth, a 360 degree rotation of the skull as well as the mummy’s head being unwrapped layer by later. The site is available in both English and German language versions.

In September 2005 Wessex Archaeology launched Archaeocast - a continuing series of audio podcasts, providing audio tours of various excavations and projects with which it is involved and information on what it’s really like to be an archaeologist.
