Diane Pugh has been hired to serve as the Project Archivist for the NEH-funded Foundation Grant, "Preparing to Preserve, Digitize, and Catalog the Southeast Chicago Historical Museum (SECHM) Collection." Diane will be working almost full-time on the project during June and July (35 hours/week), and will be assessing their collection and making recommendations for its archiving and preservation. She will create a diagram of the museum space, listing content and classificatory systems, and provide an overview of the collection and more detailed log descriptions of flagged objects based on consultation with the advisory committee for the project. At the end of her work, Diane will write a summary of the work's status, and meet with the committee to discuss the written summary, possible metadata schemes, and future work plans.
