Almost everyone, whether they are 8 or 80, has a collection of something. It might be stamps, photographs, dolls, paperclips, ticket stubs, macaroni drawings . . . anything! The Museum is planning a special event to celebrate the joy of collecting. "Collector's Day" will be Saturday, September 20, from 10 to 4.

Learn about curating your own collections with research and preservation tips from guest speakers during the morning. One guest speaker will be Andrea Cantrell, Head of Research Services in Special Collections at the University of Arkansas Libraries, who will be here to discuss collecting and researching special collections materials.

During the afternoon learn the basics of creating a museum-quality exhibit display of your personal treasures in a workshop suitable for children or family groups. Pre-registration is required for the workshop, and space will be limited. So call 621-1154 by Friday, September 12 to reserve space.

I had always understood that Jack Keck was the uncle of a RHS classmate of mine, Billy Sly. By the way, Billy/Bill was also red-headed.]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:02:55 +0000 http://www.rogersarkansas.com/museum/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31&PID=127#127 Museum Blog Discussion : New Museum Staff Members http://www.rogersarkansas.com/museum/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=119&PID=126#126 Author: John

Serena Rothfus left her position as museum education assistant in May.  She accepted a position with the Pea Ridge National Military Park and is pursuing her Bachelor of Arts degree in History at the University of Arkansas.  We wish her the best in her new endeavors.

 

Jessica Whitehead is joining us as our new museum education assistant in July.  Jessica is leaving her post as assistant director of the children’s library at the Rogers Public Library and offers a great deal of experience in delivering programs and working with our area schools.  Jessica also holds a degree in history and brings experience to the position from substitute teaching, serving as a park guide, and working in an archive.

 

Our new museum guide Debbie Smith assumed her duties this past June.  She recently relocated to Rogers from California with her husband and mother.  Debbie’s background includes a degree in business and computer science as well as experience in teaching medical coding classes.  She is an eager student of the history of Rogers and is excited about the opportunity to give tours of the Hawkins House.  Debbie has already been instrumental in the reorganization of the museum’s research library.
 
Thanks.
John Burroughs
Assistant Director
