Hello guys, this is the first of a series of five blog post about life in the museum world. This picture seems boring and dull, you are completely correct. The last two weeks have been filled with grammar and writing. The Salem Museum is in the process of re-doing their Civil War room, and I have been tasked of redesigning the signs. This is an easy task—wrong 😊; the Civil War is not my time period and I know nothing about Salem’s history. Yet, this process has been a learning experience. I have learned more about local history and grammar. For example, this photograph is the fifth time of proof reading. Even though this task has been long and tiring, it has been pretty cool.
In summary, stay tuned to see what happens to “boring” historians next week.
