Continued working on the NEH grant today. I also gave my first tour of the facility and the exhibit! One tour was family that heard about the MCLM through a recommendation and the other tour was a woman who was an avid collector of African American ephemera. The woman is interested in becoming a volunteer. Volunteers are very important to the MCLM, especially volunteers with knowledge of African American items.
This week I began to understand the amount of preparation that is required to attain donations. The institution has to constantly be in contact with the donor to guarantee that the items will be given to them.
