What does the library have to do with the museums? More like, what are the museums without its library! Check out the first picture taken at @SciTechMuseum: Artifact Alley. Do you see it?
On the second day of #MuseumLibraryWeek, it is time to give a huge shout out to our Library, Archives and Information Management staff! You can thank all of them (pictured here or not) for making our libraries and information open and accessible to the public! 👏
To start #MuseumLibraryWeek 2023, here is our smallest and our oldest book from our rare book collection. If you look closely at the second, you’ll see wormholes in the corners of the page. How does the library conserve old book like these? Follow us to find out on Wednesday!
📣Today is #AskAConservator day!
Now's your chance to ask all of your 🔥burning questions🔥 to the conservators at the @IngeniumCa museums! 🤔 🏛️

@SciTechArchives @avspacemuseum@SciTechImages@kristyvonmoos Agreed! If you are interested in a career with museum archives, look for opportunities to learn about them! Visit local institutions, check out their online catalogues, volunteer. We’re friendly (as long as you don’t bring elastics, staples or paper clips near us). 😆#AskAMuseum
@TechnoCurator The physical museum spaces are the heart of what we do but the *most surprising* thing about working in a museum is how much happens off the museum floor! Acquisitions, cataloguing, conservation, education, research, and countless more activities. #AskAMuseum
Next Wednesday, August 17 is "Welcome Wednesday" at the museum! 😮 Enjoy #free admission from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. thanks to the generosity of the Ingenium Foundation. It’s just one way we’re ensuring access for all at the museum. ❤️

It's #InternationalCatDay!🐈 Meet Milton, our purrfectly adorable cat and library mascot! When Milton isn't attending team meetings he likes to look at trade literature and rare books from the collection, oh and he loves his Fancy Feast...meow! #LibraryCat#MuseumCat#CatDay
