Struggle For Survival: The History And Ethics Of Living Collections, Emily Simms 2016 Buffalo State College

Struggle For Survival: The History And Ethics Of Living Collections, Emily Simms

Museum Studies Theses

This thesis explores the ethics involved with institutions caring for living collections worldwide such as zoos, national parks, and aquariums. There are several main concerns that these institutions are currently facing: poaching, keeper negligence, euthanasia within zoos themselves, and public opinion. The moral issues engrained can help guide keepers of these collections to take better care of the animals for which they are responsible. It also explores specific cases in the past in which living collections have managed serious issues and how they resolved these issues.

Archival Processing Science, Stefanie A. Caloia 2016 Wayne State University

Archival Processing Science, Stefanie A. Caloia

Reuther Library Scholarly Publications

Archival collections come in all sizes, formats, and subjects, and it is impossible for any archival education program to cover all situations that professional archivists encounter. Proper planning is essential to processing and paramount when a collection comprises hundreds of linear feet, yet it is often difficult to develop and implement processing plans when drawing on your experience alone. This presentation details a method of conducting a pre-archival processing survey that can be useful through all processing stages, as well as some additional tips on handling archival materials.

Creating Open Access To Institutional Scholarship Using Digital Commons, Deborah L. White, Yumi Ohira

Criss Library Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

Has your institution mandated an Institutional Repository for open access? Do you feel intimidated by working with two digital repositories simultaneously?

This workshop will give you the skills and the confidence to start an oral history program at your own institution.

Shall We Dance? The Re-Housing And Digitization Of Gettysburg College Dance Cards, Avery N. Fox, Alexa R. Schreier 2016 Gettysburg College

Shall We Dance? The Re-Housing And Digitization Of Gettysburg College Dance Cards, Avery N. Fox, Alexa R. Schreier

All Musselman Library Staff Works

The Gettysburg College Dance Card Collection contains over 100 dance cards from multiple accessions and of differing sizes and materials. The collection was previously kept in small, crammed boxes; its re-housing and digitization were an evident necessity. The needs and goals of this project were two-pronged: first, establishing physical and intellectual control over the items by building custom housing and enhancing item descriptions; and second, creating a digital collection featuring samples and highlights of the dance cards.
