<br />.:, <br /> <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />To: Historical Commission <br />From: Bridget Bacon, Museum Coordinator <br />Date: March 9, 2010 <br />Re: Museum Coordinator's Report <br /> <br />I attended a meeting of the Professional Group of the Association of Northern Front <br />Range Museums (ANFRM) at the Lakewood Heritage Center with Museum volunteers <br />Katie Kingston, Debby Fahey, and Mary Kay Knorr. There were two programs presented <br />by experts and both programs were very useful. One was on what to do about potentially <br />dangerous or explosive items in museum collections. The other program was on the <br />topic of numbering and cataloging museum collection objects, and specifically on the <br />importance for museums to conduct regular and systematic inventories of collection <br />items. Due to limited staffing, there has never been a complete inventory that has <br />included a reconciliation of misnumbered or uncataloged items conducted for the <br />Louisville Historical Museum's collection. <br /> <br />The painting of the porches and of the sign at the front of the Jacoe Store, and the repair <br />of the chimneys on the Jacoe Store and Tomeo House buildings, are expected to be <br />completed in the spring. <br /> <br />Copies of recent publications from other museums and area historical organizations will <br />be available to view after the meeting. <br /> <br />Museum Visitors Report (these statistics represent visits to the Museum itself, and not <br />inquiries that come in by email or phone): <br /> <br />.
