Hello, I'm Melissa.
Before I begin posting regularly, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Melissa Fanton, and I am a fourth-year museum studies student at RIT. Since becoming an intern at The Strong National Museum of Play, my interest in Collections Management has blossomed and I hope to pursue a thesis topic related to collections. The collections at The Strong are too interesting not to study in more depth, and their library and archives can provide many high quality sources. Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for more in the coming months.

ReplyDeleteThis picture is so fantastic, Melissa! It is always exciting to see members of an institution actually interacting with the objects on display. I can't wait to see how you bring your experiences from The Strong into your senior thesis project!
