Museum staff will work with volunteers to sort, rehouse, catalog, and photograph objects as well as input data into a collections management database. By digitizing collections records, the museum will be able to access objects more easily for research and exhibition purposes. Both the museum's personnel and public researchers will benefit from increased accessibility of the collection.
