During Fall 2015, the John Young Museum of Art held a workshop entitled:“Archival Practice and Museum Collection: Processing Artwork on Paper,” led by: Charise Michelsen, Processing Archivist, Daniel Inouye Papers, UHM.

In total we hosted twenty-one students from various fields including Art, Art History, Museum Studies, Anthropology, and Library Science. Here are some of the student comments:

“This hands-on experience is priceless. It really helps to actually learn how to handle the material and how it is housed.”

“Extremely hands-on experience that often is not accessible by those at the student level.”

“As a print-maker, it is great to know how to store prints as well as to remedy and damage.”

We would like to thank the departments and organizations that made this program possible: the Student Activity & Program Fee Board (SAPFB), the John Young Museum of Art, the University of Hawaii at Mānoa Library Services, and the Department of Art & Art History.
