I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the information you seek is in the Collections Management Policy. #collectionsmanagement #registrarlife

Not even 8:30am and I already had to apologize to the woman sitting next to me on the bus for dropping papyrus on her. Museum life is never boring. For context I have a bag of prop objects with me to do a training. No real papyrus was harmed in this morning’s commute. #MuseumLife

@Hertz having a horrible time adjusting a rental drop off location. Multiple calls to customer service say I can't change the drop off location. What is the point of having this as an option if you do not let people actually do it?

Risk of returning loot “outweighed by the risks of doing nothing”

The best about vacationing to see cultural heritage whilst working in cultural heritage is all the pictures you can take of “learning opportunities”. Seen here, man entering a sensitive habitat right behind a sign that says do not enter the sensitive habitat. #CollectionsCare

For every US$100 spent on disaster-related assistance, only 50 cents are invested in protecting development from the impact of disasters. We urgently need to scale up financing for prevention and resilience. #Climatefinance ➡️ https://t.co/EU4l77oMyg

I’ve been pre-recording lectures for a class I teach on Collections law and ethics. And my dog could not be more over it. #CollectionsCare

At hotel, hands full of luggage. 3 men get on elevator. one says “You might be staying on floor 5, but we are staying on floor 4”. Dude wanted me to push the button for him. So I pushed ALL the buttons (with toolbox) and stared at him as the door opened on every single floor.

As someone who flys fairly regularly I have splurged on priority security check (TSA-Pre). Today while waiting in line the man in front of me turns around and says “this is the tsa-pre check line. I think you are in the wrong line”.

I’m just so confused and wanted to share.

Trip is all booked! Heading to Ireland in 2 weeks! Accepting the fact I can’t see everything in one trip.

Traditional #Māori construction knowledge passes the tests for resilience to major earthquakes. Researchers from the University of Auckland, 🇳🇿, demonstrated using full-scale timber structures built according to age-old practices. 👉 https://t.co/QY0Pu6lNH3

Ooo, another one already! Today I found in the object file….a bag of sand. Apparently sent by the donor as an example of the type of sand their object is made from. Fine. But not file worthy! #RegistrarLife

[Becca Kennedy @FoundInMuseums]

Today’s edition of weird things I found in the object files that shouldn’t be there. I bring you a Lebanese and Moroccan restaurant menu!! #RegistrarLife

[Becca Kennedy @FoundInMuseums]

Post your questions about emergency preparedness and response before 5/31 and I will answer them!! #CollectionsEmergency

[Conserv @TeamConserv]

We have an upcoming AMA (Ask Me Anything) on environmental strategies for preservation with Rebecca Kennedy of Curae Collections Care! @FoundInMuseums

Don't miss it! Ask her your questions on emergency preparedness before May 31st. https://t.co/PnIsp7uGfy

[Becca Kennedy @FoundInMuseums]

I long ago put all my focus and energy into @Arcs4All as I have not felt recognized or valued by AAM for years. And this dissolution of key committee groups has been happening silently and slowly for months.

[The Museum Mentor @themuseummentor]

At opening session and showing up with curiosity.

Will Laura Lott and AAM publicly announce what they have told the PN leadership in private?

If not, here it is. As of June 1st, the 24 professional networks of AAM will be disbanded. #aam2023

[Becca Kennedy @FoundInMuseums]

@wmata I did not get the number, sorry. Thank you for looking into it.

[Becca Kennedy @FoundInMuseums]

Ummmm, @wmata we just waited 30 minutes for the H4 at the corner of Porter and Connecticut and the bus just blew right past the stop. This was after a ghost-bus 15 minutes ago. So many people now extremely late for work. Really really unacceptable.

Ukrainian libraries continue to serve their communities. They offer relief and healing. They continue to explore new opportunities for outreach to serve the army and refugees, and they help unite a nation in the common struggle for freedom. https://t.co/Isj73sDQHd
