My fellowship experience
There is so much I've gained from this fellowship. I understand museums from a logistical and ideological standpoint which are both perspectives I had never considered before. Not only that, I have discovered a passion for archival preservation and conservation and intend to pursue a Masters Degree in Library Science for the express purpose of working with archives.

Aims of the Fellowship
I was originally
assigned to do research for the upcoming temporary exhibit entitled
"The Only One." I was also fortunate enough to help prepare archives
for storage as well as clean flood-damaged archives, textiles, and
items.
