This professional internship experience spanned the summer months of 2022 and focused on a
wall-to-wall inventory of the Bell County Museum’s off-site collection storge facility. The
inventory consisted mainly of glass and kitchenware, farming tools, medical objects, and
oversized objects like furniture. The work included updating PastPerfect entries, photographs,
locations, rehousing, and documenting Found In Collection (FIC) objects. I also participated in
the construction of an in-house exhibit and set-up of a traveling exhibit. To gain a better
understanding of the museum’s relationship with the community and its goals I attended a board
meeting and collections committee meeting. This report provides details to the work completed
during the internship.
