Museum of the RockiesIntern
Aug. 2011 - May. 2012Bozeman, MTI have worked with the registrar's office for the past year to gain a working knowledge of how items come to a museum. I have been trained on item collection, item preservation, rare item handling, the collections database, as well as a basic knowledge of the legalities of signing an object over to the museum and what that means for the institution(insurance, taxes, preservation/conservation efforts, etc.)
