SUMMARY:GALLERY EXHIBIT: Documenting History - Behind the Scenes at the 1855 Harris-Kearney House
DESCRIPTION:Documenting History: Behind the Scenes at the Harris-Kearney House will break open the boundary of what an exhibit is and turn it into a working exhibit space to document and inventory the Westport Historical Society’s collection. \nDocumenting museum collections is essential for preserving\, managing\, and understanding the cultural\, historical\, or artistic value of the objects held in a museum. Proper documentation creates a permanent record of each item\, including its origin\, condition\, ownership history (provenance)\, materials\, dimensions\, labeling and photographs. This information not only protects the museum’s intellectual and legal rights but also supports research\, education\, and public engagement. \nAn inventory is a systematic process of verifying and recording the presence\, condition and location of all items in a collection. It serves as a snapshot of the collection at a given time and ensures that records match the physical holdings. All of this will take place as a constantly changing exhibit where the behind the scenes comes front and center. \nDuring the course of the exhibit\, updates will be posted on our Facebook page with examples processing the various artifacts and other items in the collection. \nExhibit HOURS\n\n Saturdays and Sundays: 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm\n\nCheck the website for special date closings for the museum house.\n\n\nOr by appointment for individuals or groups\n\nFees\nThe fee to see the exhibit in our upper gallery (2nd floor) is included in your Museum House Admission and Tour Ticket. Tickets are payable with a credit card or PayPal\, either at the door or in advance\,  HERE.  Additional donations are welcome as they offset the expense of the exhibit. There is no fee for Current Westport Historical Society members. \nAcknowledgements\nWestport Historical Society wishes to acknowledge the collaborative effort of groups and individuals who have made the exhibit possible. WHS is offering special thanks for all the volunteer help the following individuals are providing.
