New jobSubmitted by: JennHadley2011-09-13 I got a new job! Sort of. I'm very excited. I have been the textile conservator 50% of the time, and a registrar the other half of the time. This position is a full time conservation position. I will be the Objects Conservator at the Church History Museum. I will still work with the textiles, but I will also work with all of the other types of artifacts we have too. This job focusing on the preservation of the museum collection, as well as advocating for the proper preservation practices to be used throughout the department. I will monitor the museum environment (light, humidity, temperature), make exhibit and storage mounts to protect the artifacts, and repair any damage that occurs. It's a lateral move so my pay and hours will stay the same. My office will move from the ground floor to the third floor. The current conservator's last day (he's retiring) is September 30. In the weeks in between now and then, I will wrap up my registration work and train with the conservator so I will be ready to take over when he leaves. Thank you for all of your support. Steve and I are really blessed to have such a great family. |
