This is great -- sharing unpacking in storage! And it's a sneaky way to show viewers how museums take care of objects.

We’re LIVE in Collections Storage with some of the biggest Star Trek fans from our staff for a super-special UNBOXING of actual, screen-used props from the original series and the 2009 film “Star Trek.” Join us, ask questions, and watch out for tribbles!
The exhibit Star Trek: Exploring New Worlds opens Feb. 2! www.childrensmuseum.org/star-trek
Yesterday was our last day at the Delaware Historical Society for the Collections SWAT Team. It was definitely bittersweet. Over the two weeks the students processed hundreds of documents, built custom housings, and helped reclaim and reorganize space for staff and volunteers. Everyone learned a lot and were sad it was over. We can't wait to see what is next for the research library!
Day 7 and the SWAT students were able to finish processing everything slated for rehousing including a last minute addition of several boxes! They are a killer team. Tomorrow is our final day at Delaware Historical Society and we are so excited about the work that has been done.
Day 6 and our SWAT students were busy working away at processing and rehousing items like these cool postcards! We love getting to see all the fun things our students are uncovering. Nearly there Delaware Historical Society!
Day 5 and Week 2 off to a great start! Our group of talented students nearly finished what was started during week one. We soon move onto bonus projects! Some highlights were starting to shelve our processes boxes and Chief Curator and Librarian Leigh Rifenburg showing the students how to handle an eclectic scrapbook from the 20’s.
