SGCI ARCHIVES AT THE ZUCKERMAN MUSEUM OF ART: MANAGING THE SGCI PRINT COLLECTION

In 2013, the Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art (ZMA) at Kennesaw State University was awarded the honor of housing and caring for the SGCl’s print collection. The collection expanded the ZMA’s permanent collection from 900 to over 6,000 objects. This INKubater session will demonstrate the process of processing the collection including cataloging and rehousing, highlight accomplishments and tribulations, ZMA interns sharing their experience working with the collection, why is the ZMA staff hunting artists down for their paperwork, and how can SGCI members can assist during this large-scale project.
