Last week: The director, curatorial staff, a few helpers and I went to University of Mobile to accession the Caldwell Delaney collection. I have never been apart of a collection acquisition before so it was interesting. It took two full days to get most of the collection out of the library, packed, into our box truck, back to museum, and unpacked. It is a massive collection with some really interesting stuff.
Here are a few pictures from the event:

Least flattering picture ever, but gives a good idea of the room of documents we were working in.
The awesome box maker: Daniela.
all unloaded at the museum waiting to go to its storage room. That is a lot of boxes! (and that is only half of them)
Loading boxes into the room we will use for processing.
Update on this week to come in the next post!
