This hands-on
seminar offered with assistance from the University of Victoria Cultural
Resource Management Program was designed to prepare CURA student
researchers for positions entailing work with historic collections and
primary resources. The program included lectures and workshop sessions
by museum professionals as well as site visits to historic Helmcken
House and the BC Provincial
Archives.
The workshop
introduced students to such topics as the care and handling of historic
artifacts, the standards and procedures for cataloguing collections
and the use of MS Access for collections management. Participants also
learned about researching historic photographs as well as the practices
of conducting and transcribing oral histories.
