Last week, I was given the honor of accepting an award on behalf of The Mayme A. Clayton Library & Museum. The award was posthumously presented to Dr. Mayme Agnew Clayton for being a champion of Black History & Museum Founder. The event, hosted by The Museum of African American Art, focused on African American women in honor of Women's History Month.
The next day, MCLM hosted a disaster preparedness workshop. This type of workshop occurs in many locations and is funded through a NEH grant. Westpas, a preservation assistance service, is the grant writing agency. The event opened my eyes to the amount of planning that must go into preparing for a disaster, especially earthquakes.
On the collections side of events from last week, I have assigned a group of volunteers to inventory the entirety of the James Jeffery, Jr. collection. James Jeffery's Jr. was a Southern California based artist, he also served on the advisory board of The Western States Black Research Center. This collection consists of photographs, prints, and some mixed media paintings. Once the inventory is complete it will be pushed into the database.
