Item Archives and libraries at The Museum of Flight.(2017-06-22) Person, Hanna E.; Holcomb, Julie.; Museum Studies.; Baylor University.; Baylor University. Dept. of Museum Studies.My internship focused on managing materials in both the library and the archive at The Museum of Flight. The library received a grant to process the manual collection and input data into their MARC database. I cleaned, rehoused, cataloged and organized hundreds of manuals. In the archive I began the process of properly archiving the G. Harry Stine collection. I roughly organized the materials and created an accurate inventory. Then I came up with a plan for how the collection would be processed and created an itinerary for how the materials would be organized going forward.Item Classified : title redacted : my internship at the George Bush Presidential Library.(2015-05-26) Salvaggio, Amy.; Holcomb, Julie.; Museum Studies.; Baylor University.; Baylor University. Dept. of Museum Studies.How does a presidential library differ from standard archives? How do best practices translate under federal oversight? My summer internship in the archives of the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library highlighted these questions by exploring the delicate balance between privacy and access, the difficulty of operating under government administration, and the importance of flexibility, consistency, and teamwork.Item My Victorian adventure : transcribing 19th century letters at the Armstrong Browning Library.(2019-02-01) Mackenzie, Katherine A., 1993-; Hafertepe, Kenneth, 1955-; Museum Studies.; Baylor University. College of Arts and Sciences. Dept. of Museum Studies.In the summer of 2017, I completed an internship at the Armstrong Browning Library. My main project during my internship was to help with the Armstrong Browning Library's Victorian Letters Digitization Project. I was tasked with transcribing Victorian letters and preparing them for digitization so that they can be added to an online exhibit in the near future. This online exhibit is an exciting project, which will allow more people to have access to the Armstrong Browning Library's 19th century collection. Throughout my internship, I enjoyed learning the transcription process, the process of preparing letters for digitization, writing blogs, and gathering valuable cultural and historical knowledge about the Victorian era.
