Internship: Neville Public Museum

This blog will act as my means to record my experiences at the Neville Public Museum. I will be working as an Intern there from January until May of 2008 to satisfy my requirments through the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay as well as my own academic development as this will allow me to work outside of the classroom. I will post a brief summary of my activities after each day of work and use this to reflect on my experiences.

I am finishing my fourth year at the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay. I will be graduating this Spring with a B.A. in History. I plan on attending Graduate School shortly thereafter.

Day 52

Today I was back and forth between Storage and the Library. Emily was on the back computer, so I gathered another medical artifact and went to the Loibrary to write something up on it. When I got back from my class, I started browsing for more medical artifacts and write up some more stuff on the existing pieces. I took a short break to look into a bullet which Trevor had. A few weeks ago, he found a bullet (bullet only, not the entire cartridge) on the floor back in Collections. He didnt know what it went to and when I arrived back this afternoon, I brought with me a digital caliper and a magnetic scale which I use to handload my own ammunition for competitions. I found out that it was a 150 grain 30.06 round with a diameter of .308". I told Trevor that it was for one of the 1903 Springfields and that it was made by FNM out of Salt Lake City.
