Goulbourn Museum
has been like a second home to me over the past four years. My initial involvement began as a co-op
student during high school and this led to three years of volunteer
service. During those three years I
completed the Applied Museum Studies Program at Algonquin College and recently
graduated with Honours after completing a four-month internship as Educational
Programming Assistant at Goulbourn.
I was
extremely pleased to be the successful candidate for the seven-week Collections
Assistant position at the Museum which is being offered through the Province of
Ontario’s Summer Experience Program. This position will allow me to put various
elements from my last three years of learning into practice while at the same
time gaining further experience in the area of Collections Management.
My main
objective this summer is to assist with the organization of the Museum's large
collection of artefacts. There are a
number of tasks that must be completed in order to meet this objective. These
tasks include: recording artefact accession numbers and comparing these to the
Museum's collections database, photo documentation of artefacts and recording each
artefact’s dimensions and location.
I am excited
to be involved with this project and look forward to the upcoming weeks.
