Behind the Scenes
2025 Dates: September 6th, 13th, and 27th
The Augusta Museum of History is responsible for a broad and diverse range of artifacts, representing
many aspects of the rich history of the River Region.
In this program, AMH Registrar, Alena Rensch, will demonstrate how the Museum collects, catalogs, preserves, studies, cares for, and displays archival collections.
The goal of this presentation is to demonstrate to visitors how historically important objects reach the Museum and how they are evaluated, prepared for display or stored.
All of the relevant considerations, such as pest infestation, temperature and relative humidity levels, light levels, and composition of storage materials will be explained. At the end, you'll understand how these processes are central to the Museum's mission of the preservation and interpretation of history and receive tips on taking care of their family treasures.
You'll also get a chance to view some of the many artifacts in our collections
NOT CURRENTLY ON DISPLAY!
ELIGIBILITY:
Guests must be aged 8 or older to participate, and children
must
be accompanied by an adult. Each tour is limited to 15 guests.
Pre-registration is strongly recommended to ensure your spot. You can also check in at the Front Desk on the day of the program to see if there are any openings.
DATES:
September 6th, 13th & 27th, 2025
TIMES:
11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM
DURATION:
