Abstract
My presentation will be on my work in the May Weber Ethnographic Collection at Loyola. This will include the different skills I’ve learned for museum conservation work in my internship. I will detail the steps for creating a catalogue record for an object, answer what an inventory is and why it is important, provide some of my experience organizing the archival records, and show how I create storage solutions for archival rehousing.
