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. I am currently working on a research project which examines the evolution of America's "beer culture" over the last 30 years.

Day 59

Today I did a little work in the Library as far as research goes. Then John asked me and Emily to help mount some plexiglass over the cartoons in the new exhibit. These are mostly political and current event cartoons drawn up by a local newspaper artist who is still working. I like this a lot better than the abstract hippi crap that was there before. Anyway, after I returned from class I took a trepanation tool which was part of the surgical kit I found a few days ago. This tool was used around 1900 to bore a hole in the patients skull and relieve pressure. I asked Trevor if I could make the artifact its own item instead of leaving it part of the kit itself. He said it was fine and I did a quick research run and wrote up a label for it.
