Orientation, Tour, etc. 12:30 - 4:30 pm
Showed up at CARC [Community Archives & Research Center] for orientation & to meet my supervisor, Andrea. We chatted briefly about the two main projects I would be working on.
1. Cataloguing, packing & moving a good portion of the museum's ethnographic collections.
2. Photographing & entering data into the online database for their shoe collection.
Next, I started a tour of the collections facility - a maze of three buildings, built & acquired at different times over the last 100 years by the museum [my favorite being the "old museum" or the Jefferson Building]. After the tour another intern and I watched an "artifact handling" video & completed the day with an introduction to using the online database.
