making progress slowly, but surely

The first draft of the thesis seemed to go over well, and it looks like it's moving in the right direction. There are clear gaps in some of the information; but its far better to figure this out sooner rather than later. A lot of the information gaps were mainly because sections were newly added after talking with Dr. Lent and Dr. Decker. The most important section that is added is the comparison of the initial conditions report from 2010, when the Wildenhain Collection was added, to my condition reporting. The condition reports will either help to validate the efforts the Archives have done in taking care of the objects, or to show that there slight issues and could be focused on in the paper.

Also I am looking into contacting Kari in the library about possible information on shipping art work, because I know she has personal experience with this. That being said, I am concerned that she focuses mainly on graphic art collections, which have different needs and focuses than ceramics.
