Item Creating a searchable history.(2017-06-22) Berge, Courtney E.; Holcomb, Julie.; Museum Studies.; Baylor University.; Baylor University. Dept. of Museum Studies.Throughout the summer and fall of 2016, I worked on a project for the Mayborn Museum Complex in Waco, Texas. For 6 months, I worked to archive the Mayborn’s digital born photographs. These images were taken at events, during renovations, and in the general running of the museum. My task was to find a place to store these images and make them accessible to the Mayborn staff. The first 3 months of this project involved uploading over 19,000 photographs and organizing them appropriately. To finish the project I needed to tag each image with applicable search terms and create a procedural manual, so the work I had been doing could continue. From start to finish I processed over 19,000 photographs and met with my project supervisor weekly to tag and identify images. Concluding this project, I have gained experience in archival standards for born digital files and the measures needed to ensure accessibility.Item A curious collaboration : explorations in exhibition development.(2017-06-22) Norris, Jenna.; Hafertepe, Kenneth, 1955-; Museum Studies.; Baylor University.; Baylor University. College of Arts and Sciences. Dept. of Museum Studies.This project focused on gaining experience in the exhibition development process and in planning and management of traveling exhibitions. The product of this learning experience was the creation of an auxiliary exhibit titled “Curious Creatures: Traditions of Animal Imagery” which was designed to complement the themes of the traveling exhibit “Sacred Journeys” by National Geographic. This report details the challenges and accomplishments over the course of this project which further emphasized the importance of adaptability and collaboration in the museum field.
