Collections Work:

In 2008 I started as a collections volunteer in the "Behind the Scenes" program. My first summer I washed pottery and labeled artifacts at the Museum Support Center. I also assisted with collections tours.

I've since stayed a volunteer, and completed a non-credit internship. I work whenever I can which is usually during the summer and during school holidays.

During my time I have:

Worked both at The Museum Support Center (MSC) and the downtown museum location
Assisted Collections Manager and Museum Staff with various projects.
Experience with EMu collections software
Housed and Rehoused objects
Preformed object inventories
Researched genealogy for projects
Photographed objects for database
Cleaned countless objects
Labeled objects
Created IPM maps and checked traps
