Rosen-blog: I Love Inventory

http://rosenbach.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-love-inventory.html

Subscribe to the Rosenblog! Friday, July 24, 2015. Since this is my first Rosen-blog post, I thought I would tell you a few things about myself: I love pencils, spreadsheets, organizing things, and my birthday. Starting collections inventory the week of my birthday is pretty much the best present (if present is defined as ‘work activity’) I could ask for! Conducting inventory is an important collections management exercise for museums striving to meet the collections stewardship standards. Shrek on a cart.

Subscribe to the Rosenblog! Friday, April 24, 2015. Language and Sin in 1806 Montreal. Taking boats, sitting in carriages, and wandering on foot, a man makes his way from Charleston to New York, then winds around Lake Ontario and Southern Canada. His adventures recall the excitement and the trials of modern travel: at one point he gets sick, and reluctantly stays in his room while friends go out and tell him about their day. The journal recalls a tour that covered a lot of ground. The anonymous write...
