Week Four: Shelves, Shelves, and More Shelves

This week we: 

~ received the second shipment of shelving units

~ constructed all the units

~ were able to bring a lot of artifacts into the new room

Building the Units
P.S. That fireplace is sealed. There is no draft and it is not a danger to any artifacts.

Once the shelves were up, it was time to fill them! 

With artifacts on the shelves, this is finally starting to look like the storage room we envisioned! After these pictures were taken, all the shelves were lined with foam to both cushion the artifacts and provide a barrier (for reactions) between them and the metal of the shelf. 

There are STILL MORE SHELVES to come in the upcoming weeks, though. Over-sized units for the museum's larger artifacts will be the last addition of shelving to be installed.
