sneak previews before opening

something early summer 2025

we’re gonna have more people on staff but is anyone relevant to us lol

someone doing interviews

we’ll be closed here for a couple of weeks before new building but collections will still be working

if you have a flunky project / project assistant / special projects assistant

lignen free, acid free, unbuffered, metal edge

prints — file (plastic, archivally sound) sleeves

new shoeboxes will take the negatives being frozen, and then the shoeboxes will go back in the freezer

nice binders / print file (poly) no plasticisers — light impressions

lignen free binders

glass plate — lantern sleeves

sink mats — for broken and fragile

glass plates

all four sides on hinges and then there’s a cover i think ?

if it’s stable leave the glass plate in the sleeve

help the guys once i catch up on imaging

get the system — nomenclature on what we call these things physically — they’re X types of things, are they

important historical artifacts

numbers of types of things. general description (box or item level description)

we know this is X, from date

“buckets of information” of data

then can stick on the box

notebooks with names

so you still want lantern sleeves to be ordered for the glass plate

negatives or keep their envelopes if they have them?

envelope or lantern better for glass plate ?

J will show us how to make sink mats

bottom of the boxes - layer of foam (goldilocks) if it can fit

glass plate boxes should be half the size they are now bc they’re heavy

start rose on the work

just prints

assess this box, what’s in this

let her know what i want included

dimensions

agree on info and what we’re calling it

prints / other stuff not negatives

we go over it after

rose can assess the binders / describe

grab binders & sleeves so that when rose is done with a box the box contents can be moved, transferred

albums & scrapbooks on gaylord

no adhesives

print file poly

for prints

buy one of each to test it out

clamshell box that can store flat

bag and tag

ask rose about dupes eventually

ask Shannon about paying for Airtable upgrade
