Dear Mr Zambonini

Thank you for your enquiry of 10 February. The information you have requested is as follows:

1. Capital costs for Collections Online are £655 per month for site hosting. This is the only information held by the Museum on Collections Online costs, as additions to the catalogue and its development are carried out by existing staff as part of their wider roles.

2. Average page views per month for Collections Online are 94,567 with unique visitors averaging 16,208 per month.

3. The Museum has participated in NMOLP and as the website shares a server with Collections Online, there is no extra capital cost to the Museum specifically in terms of the technical availability of collections data. The Museum's contribution to the project is again carried out by existing staff as part of their wider roles.

Yours sincerely

Sarah Henning
