PEABODY NEWSLETTER - JULY/AUGUST 2016
|
|
I am delighted to share with you what the staff of the Peabody has been up to this summer – and it has been a busy one, to be sure! We have been collaborating with our friends at the OWHL, searching through old documents, researching mysterious photographs, and beginning our extensive collection-wide rehousing project. And a friendly reminder: As you read about our active summer, don’t forget to catch your breath!

Dipping a toe into the Peabody’s archives
|
Contributed by Irene Gates
|
In my first few weeks at the Peabody, I’ve been surveying the museum’s archival material to gain a better sense of the collections before proceeding to more detailed cataloging and processing work. It's been fascinating to begin to piece together the history of the Peabody through the materials I'm coming across, and to learn about 20th century American Archaeology in the process.
