<br />To: Historical Commission Members <br /> <br />From: Bridget Bacon, Museum Coordinator <br /> <br />Date: October 12, 2009 <br /> <br />Re: Activity Report <br /> <br />Activity Report <br /> <br />The following are some recent activities that may be of particular interest to the Commission. <br /> <br />I attended the Professional Group meeting of the Association of Northern Front Range Museums with <br />volunteer Mary Kay Knorr in September. It was held at the CU Museum of Natural History and the <br />program topic was how to care for organic materials (such as leather, cotton, wool, and similar materials) <br />in museum collections. The program was extremely useful. <br /> <br />A book that will feature the Tomeo House is expected to be published in November. The title is The Walls <br />Talk and its subject is Colorado's historic house museums. The author conducted her research at the <br />Museum in 2005-06. The publishing company is planning to provide the historic house museums that are <br />featured in the book with information on selling the book. <br /> <br />Historical Museum Correspondence & News Coverage <br /> <br />Copies of recent publications from other museums and area historical organizations will be available to <br />view after the meeting. <br /> <br />Visitors Report & Tours <br /> <br />. Classes of students from both St. Louis School and Coal Creek Elementary toured the Museum. <br />. September visitors: 148 <br />. YTD visitors (through September): 1333 <br />
