The Wizard Behind the Curtain

Visions become realities because of hard work, determination, and passion. This project is no exception . Though these artifacts have been doted upon by the museum for years, being properly cleaned and conserved to ensure their survival, it has been only recently that the plan for the creation of their new home has been put into action.

As an "artifact protection advocate" the registrar at a museum makes it their duty to provide the best care and housing for all the museum's collection. Since this collection in particular was one of the National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center's most prized, it seemed only fitting to give it a proper storage place. This project serves as an example of the pride that the museum takes in preserving the African-American legacy.

Linda Collins, the registrar, is the true visionary behind this project and it is because of her that we are able to have a capstone project with such deep meaning and importance. Wanting the best for a collection is what registrars do, and this collection is going to get just that.

"Thank you, Linda. We cannot wait to be safe and comfy in our new storage facility!"
