Salem Museum #2

October 3, 2022 by andiemel

In the weeks since my last blog post I have learned a lot more at my internship! I have been helping do some research and find objects in the archives for a new exhibit. I have been searching through the archives to find small objects that will go with some of the displays in the exhibit. I have also helped to write some captions for images, and got to practice writing a short biography for a person as well. It can be difficult to keep the word count down of the captions and also make sure you include all the important information. I think learning to write these concise captions will help to benefit my writing skills in the end. I am looking forward to participating in the museums Ghost Walk this coming weekend as well!

This photo is of my list of items to pull from the archives and of the boxes I found some of the items in!
