Building a new storage facility and properly rehousing collections for that space can be one of the most impactful events for a small historical institution. In this presentation Anna Muller, curator of collections of the East Hampton Historical Society, and Amy Folk, collection manager of the Oysterponds Historical Society, will share their timelines, procedures, and experiences handling and moving collections during the process.
