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
