- Handled artifacts and objects, taking them to be photographed for the museum website- Updated tombstone information relating to objects- Completed intake of recent acquisitions and provided some light cleaning and conservation- Assisted in exhibit installationMy main focus was spending time with the museum's collection of embroidery samplers from the beginning of the 1900's. The information and photographs I collected were sent to the Daughters of the American Revolution Society for input into a larger database collection of embroidery samplers dating from that time period in the New England area. I completed an independent research project around this topic in which I detail the cultural importance of the cultivation of flax and embroidery samplers created during this time to New England history.
