Master's project
As a part of my 2016 master's thesis project work on preserving ethnographic basketry collections I focused on a three part preservation model: information, materials, and access. The project was designed to be an accessible tool for museum professionals and contained numerous case studies, practical examples, and resources such as brochures and guides, a sample space assessment, an academic research paper, and an example of a basketry exhibit . A sample of theses resources are included below, and you can see them shared publicly through the industry website Museum Trade . For a copy of the whole project, please contact me and I'd be happy to share it with you!
