so I havent decided which one I would like on the postcard. While I think this basket is beautiful, I would rather use one of the other objects to show how diverse the collection is. I would like to use the dress, but only if a picture can be taken on a form, to give it some shape; otherwise the gloves are my choice for the postcard.

ps. sorry about my title again

Museum Feelings

So I have decided to write a separate post about how I feel about the museum and all of its processes. I feel overwhelmed and excited and nervous all at the same time. a good portion of that is most likely because ive never been on this side of the museum before and hearing about all of the steps makes it seem that much more intense.

On the positive side of things, I am super excited to help and get things together. I think I will help out on team 3. But anywhere that anyone needs a hand and I can help I will. haha.

Lab hours

This week I have spent some time going over the accession file and looking through all of the wonderful pictures of the collection. I also spent some time in the museum getting my objects out, HURRAY! and also helping to clear out some things that were no longer needed.

This week I have done a small bit of looking for info on Carl Purdy. All I've really found is that he is from Ukiah... I think. I will find more info soon, I always feel more energized after class to get everything done. Hopefully it starts to occur more often. =)

while I had hoped to get more research done on what exactly NAGPRA is, my weekend was full with my daytime job instead.

I agree with everyone else that the theme should focus around the cottons, but do we know if any of their collection had to be given back through NAGPRA? IF so that would be a neat little bit of info to touch on. I also liked the idea of showing, perhaps just in the cases, what a "authentic" vs. "Tourist" item would look like. My grandmother has a WHOLE BUNCH of tourist stuffs and I like to think if she would have know that's all it was for she wouldn't have some much? eh. wishful thinking.

As for titles..... Object, Collector, NAGPRA : the life story of (something). the word isn't coming to me. =P

I think an issue with the following a fake item is making sure people know its fake.... but I also get easily confused.

Lastly, I have yet to see my items!!!! OMG! but I do know that I have a fiber, a basket, and bead work. what they are I don't know.... but once i do you will too! HURRAY!

Off to do some more research.

Time : 2 hours

I have spent a couple of hours looking at other colleges museums. Penn state, which I believe has a more "full time" staff of people running theres, had an exhibit that would have fit for us;but sadly their information was lacking as to what it entailed.

I also spent some time looking for a sort of quick reference museum dictionary and had little luck finding what I was looking for.

Lastly, my three items from the collections are:

BEA 0107, 74-32-3

FIB0089, 74-32-1

BAS0153, 74-32-2-34

I will post later with what these mysterious numbers actually are. hurray!
thats all for me from this past week. See you all in class today.

Total time: 2 hours

ps. I have no idea why my title has shown up in another language. i will investigate this at a later time.
