@ULaVerne Welcome to Dean Mathews!

"okay, you are trapped on a dessert island and you can only have three things from the collection. What would they be?"
If I am on an island of desserts, I am bringing our muumuu, poncho, and our towels.😉

"Do you ever find yourself "curating" other things in your life? Music? Possessions? Friends?" I collect #bricks. If you are still reading this, congratulations. Other than that, I do not curate my life nor even my personal social media. I am #WYSIWYG

"Name three things you would put on permanent display if you could." Smiley, our #SaberToothCat, is one. Rather than permanent "displays," two themes that I'd love are Service and Technology. Two messages that are ever changing, but oh so necessary.#AskACurator #AskACuratorDay

"Do you have a personal favorite currently in the collection? And, why it?"We have a #Gabrieleño storage #basket that was gifted in 1865. These baskets are rare due to the practice of burning the possessions of the deceased Photo: Natasha Brennan

"What would your dream item or items be to have donated to the museum?" A #museumofthewest building. After a day of reflection, we need a place for the community to see all of these hidden treasures and a space for researchers to do what they do best.#askacurator #AskACuratorDay

[ulvcollections @ulvcollections]

"What is the nearest item/s you uncovered at the museum?"
Back in the early 1990s the anthropology department did a dig on campus. They recovered numerous artifacts that gave us insight into the day of a Lordsburg/La Verne College student 1891-1926. #askacurator #askacuratorday

"How old does something have to be, to be considered 'history' or 'historical'?" History is happening all around us every day: the signs used in protest, masks worn during this pandemic or political signs in your neighborhood - all are #HistoryInTheMaking #AskACuratorDay

"Do you ever watch #AntiquesRoadshow and yell at stupid people? If yes, what do you yell?" Confession: I was once a guest on AR. I love that show and have learned so much from watching it. It's educational learning at its best!#AskACurator #AskACuratorDay

[ulvcollections @ulvcollections]

"What is the strangest thing someone has tried to donate to the collection?" We had to turn down the Jeep that belonged to the naturalist Edmund C. Jaeger; Another can't be considered a "tried to" as I eagerly accepted a fire extinguisher grenade.

"Would you like or love the job at the #Smithsonian?"
Are they hiring and what time do I start?!?!??? I mean, that is like asking if a dog wants an entire box of treats (yes, I realize that I am the dog in this scenario). 😉

"What do you feel is the most interesting item in your collection?" An image of Hồ Chí Minh framed with film strips to look like wood. In Vietnam 1991, resources such as wood and glass were still too precious to be used for tourist trinkets.

"Why isn't your catalog online?"
Mainly because we are nowhere near cataloging all that we have, but mostly because it takes storage space and continual data input and management to upload and maintain our inventory (100k materials and growing). #askacurator #askacuratorday
