Emily Nabasny, American Museum of Natural History, Fall 2013, IMLS
For my final MIAP internship, I worked at the American Museum of Natural History under the supervision of Sarah Galloway (Media Producer Exhibition Department), & Barbara Mathe (Museum Archivist and Head of Library Special Collections - Research Library). During my internship I worked on the first phases of a project with the long-term goal of moving the over 7,000 video materials that comprise the Exhibition Department Media Library to the museum's main library. Work for this project involved updating and editing the collection's FileMaker Pro database, preparing the database records to be migrated into the library catalog, cataloging tapes, identifying tape content, and organizing the tapes into smaller collections based on exhibit or year of creation.
