Posted on: 11-3-2011

On Wednesday October 12, 2011 the White Gloves Gang once again visited the Fells Point Preservation Society (FPPS) at1726 Thames Street,Baltimore.  No stranger to the FPPS, the Gang made its first visit back in 2005.  For a moment now let us go back in time to when Destiny’s Child was still together, Batman Begins was playing at the box office and the FPPS had just called upon the White Gloves Gang to help them move their new collection. Some might …

0When Small Scale Efforts Bring a BIG Reward

Posted on: 11-3-2011

On the morning of October 12, eight volunteers arrived the Historical Society—and former almshouse—of Baltimore County to volunteer as part of the White Gloves Gang. Administrator Adam Youssi headed up the gang and started our day off with a tour of the 19th century building. It was fascinating to see the former quarters of the inmates, and the furniture and other items in the collection, but the greatest surprise of our tour was an intact nuclear fallout shelter in the …

Posted on: 11-3-2011

What are the differences between an internship and a volunteer position? What is a good internship?

0An EMP reflects on the Annual Meeting

Posted on: 11-2-2011

My latest adventure: Baltimore, Maryland. I had only been to Baltimore once, for a short day trip prior to this visit. This time, I was there with a classmate in graduate school, who is also interested in working in museums. We were only able to volunteer and participate on day one due to our work and school schedules but MAAM certainly gave me more than what I expected. As a student, the MAAM conference was far less daunting than some …

0[Session Recap] The Role of Interpretation in Master Planning

Posted on: 11-2-2011

On Tuesday morning I wandered into the session on the role of interpretation in the master plan of a historic site. I knew little about the two huge 19th Century stone sites—the Fort Monroe Authority on Virginia’s coast and Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. I learned each has its own unique challenges. Eastern State is a stabilized ruin, a huge structure that was abandoned in 1971. The museum had to choose what stories to tell and then decide which cells …

0[Session Recap] Up Close and Personal: New Strategies to Inspire and Engage Heritage Tourism Audiences

Posted on: 11-2-2011

For me, the test of a good conference is what sessions do I find myself thinking about on the bus ride home. I had a quite a lot to think about on the way home from Baltimore! On Monday morning, I attended the off-site session on developing historic walking tours in Fells Point. I know from experience that creating a walking tour that engages the public can be challenging since it is often difficult to establish a coherent story that …
