Museum Assistant looking for assistance with a variety of names for items, etc.

Hi everyone,

My name is Casey, a Project Assistant with the Museum of the Cariboo-Chilcotin. Recently, I have been working on a project archiving and accessioning items that have been stored off-site after our Museum had been relocated. Many items are unfortunately have not been properly recorded and/or labeled and because of this, many of these older, vintage farming/mining/logging tools and accessories are unidentifiable by name, making it a real chore to do data entry. I will be sharing photos from what I find that I could use a hand identifying -- any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

What a fun project! Sure you'll find many (knowledgable) people here willing to help.

Thank you, Debora! It really is fun and delving into these historical artifacts is amazing. I'm more than certain I'll be able to find the answers I'm looking for -- this seems like a very active community. Cheers!

 

Welcome, Casey!!

 

Thank you!

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome. And don't just sit there, post stuff! There's nothing this motley mess likes better than a good puzzle. (unless it's a truly horrible pun, but we can stick to the puzzles.)

 

Welcome!

 

Hello Casey, I am sure people on this forum will help you as much as they can. They are a great bunch of knowledgeable, helpful, kind people.
