Poster: Reel Talk: The State of Film Collections in Michigan Museums
Katie Higley, Central Michigan University
This poster presentation will detail the creation and results of a McNair research project, the Michigan Museum Film Collections Survey. The poster will include how I became interested in this topic, the methods used to create the survey, and the results/implications drawn from the survey. The goal of the survey was to document how Michigan museums preserve and employ their film collections, to encourage their continued preservation, and to advocate for their use in educational programming. With further implementation of the survey, I believe that these goals will be achieved.
