The goal of this blog is to provide a space for me to share my experiences working at a small historical society and the things I’ve learned about the museum field while pursuing my Master’s degree in Museum Studies. My experience working in museums stems from my 4 years at the Historical Society of Long Beach in Long Beach, CA. I began working as a catalog volunteer and transitioned into a full-time staff as the Gallery Coordinator. My duties were greeting visitors in the galleries, assisting researchers in the archives, training volunteers to catalog the collection into Past Perfect and properly store artifacts, managing rights and reproductions of the collection, assisting in program and exhibition development, and preparing and hanging exhibitions.
