During my last week interning at the Historical Society of Western Virginia/O. Winston Museum, I spent a heavy amount of time continuing to accession items from the World War One gift as well as rearranging several rooms in the museum for aesthetic purposes as well as to make room for an upcoming exhibit on Botetourt County.
My experience at the O. Winston Link Museum has been a positive one and I have learned so much. I would say the most important lessons to draw from my time interning there is the management of the PastPerfect inventory system, conducting at home research for various projects, as well as having to manage certain aspects of exhibits and what will be displayed. It has given me much insight into what I potentially want in my career field and I am very happy to have had this experience.
