Details

Ready to get up close and personal with archive, library and museum “collection items”?  Well, not actual collection items, but stunt-double stand-in items that look and feel like the real thing! 

The PRICE Team will be hosting this second annual Open House!  The goal of the event is to introduce non-collections staff to the rationales behind why collections staff use specific methods when handling collection items.  Another goal was to introduce safe handling techniques to collections staff who may not have had the opportunity to work with a variety of collection items to date.
