The Work We Do: Journey Into the Collections
Thursday January 28, 2021 | 6 – 7:30 PM
Join us for the kick off of a new online MOA series, The Work We Do, with MOA’s Collections Care and Management team as we follow a recently donated acquisition—a contemporary Salish weaving by Barbara Marks McCoy—on its path into the MOA Collection.
The Work We Do series focuses on the work we do at the Museum of Anthropology, the community members we work with, and the shared interests that bring us together. In this online event series, we follow a new acquisition on its journey into the collections; learn about the work done to support preservation of Indigenous oral histories and languages; and listen to a range of voices from diverse communities guiding us towards meaningful collaborations, and ways of understanding. Each event includes a live discussion and Q+A.
At the first event, “Journey Into the Collections,” learn about some of the acquisition and collections management processes that take place when a new object is donated to the MOA Collection.
The event includes a short documentary where MOA Curator Sue Rowley shares information about the donation of this piece and its historical significance, and MOA’s Collections Care and Management staff demonstrate processes involved in bringing a newly acquired weaving into the textile collection, including pest management, registration, accessioning, digitization and storage.
