In recent years the Illinois Railway Museum has steadily been expanding its facilities for disseminating news and information about progress at the museum on the Internet. The first outlet for this was the museum’s website which since its earliest days has included news items on its homepage. Starting with a site redesign in 1997 which links to news pages for different departments, IRM has continued to develop new and meaningful ways to significantly increase the amount of information that can be communicated online to interested parties, both in an effort to further the museum’s educational mission as well as spur interest in the museum from both internal and external sources.
