My last internship for my degree/CAS is at the Erie Canal Museum here in Syracuse. I am working with a fellow classmate to catalog the photograph collection in PastPerfect.
It is a fascinating project, looking at all the photos, learning a new software (which I LOVE) and working on my cataloging skills. We have gotten about 100 photos in so far and expect to add quite a few more over the next month and a half, which will help museum staff and researchers at the museum.
Great place to be, I've always liked the museum. I imagine it's very quiet and underused right now.
ReplyDelete@Apple, Thank you! I agree with your assessment. They are doing a big remodel and the curator is really getting the archives into working order (care of a multitude of interns), which I think will really help them out. Definitely a great museum, though.
