First Shift
Feb 14, 2008 –
Whoops, forgot about the blogging at first so I’m going back and revisiting my first two experiences at the SLOCHS museum at the Carnegie Free Library building. This time I got introduced to the responsibilities of a docent, then was summoned downstairs by Alan to work on some photos. I helped scan in some old photos, edit them, and burn them to a cd for a client. Then, we went through some drawers and he showed me some of the gems of the collection including: more old photos, legal documents from the 1800’s, a condemned man’s last wishes expressed on paper, etc. Very interesting stuff! This was a half-shift because I had to leave early.

Hopefully no worries about forgetting to blog right after your shift because I have been in the same boat a few times.

Are there any plans to scan in the legal documents or the man’s last wishes? It would be cool if they somehow created an online database of their documents.
