This past week I have spent considerable time working on accessioning a gift of World War One era items such as letters, photos, account books, along with many other types of items. I have continued to conduct research from home regarding interpretive labeling for potential future exhibits, a task I have had a lot of fun doing in fact.
I was given a spreadsheet list of rifles, all originating from around the general area, one of the rifles belongs to the collection of the Historical Society of Western Virginia in fact. I have been taking the time to provide aspects such as the name of the object, its year of origin, as well as the donor who provided the object as well. This has given me a unique opportunity to gain insight into objects pertaining to the local history of the Botetourt region.
