Well so far, this takes pretty good placing as greatest of all time – a project to share all 1,750 accredited museums and other collections across the UK – eventually. Now it is, ‘The Museum Data Services’ , launched with the records of 21 museums. Eventually they estimate over 100 million data items (yes, 100 million). The Museum Data Service was launched with an initial collection of 3,129,798 records from those 21 museums.
