Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, Anril 8th, 1981-3 Clarke Museum Corner With all this discussion in the newspapers about the Clarke Museum's development, development, it is a good time to make a few things clearer. You, the public, generally do not get to see behind the scenes at a museum (storage and work areas), generally show work in progress, not the completed work which is shown to the public. You may think of storage as a negative thing, especially if you have donated something, and it is not on view all the time. In fact, proper storage is a positive factor in the preservation preservation of collections for the future; it ensures a constantly stable environment environment which will prolong the life of the artifacts when they are not on exhibit. A museum's museum's commitment to its community is to collect these, artifacts which best reflect the history of that community, community, in its everyday life, and in its development, and to preserve that history for the future. This care in the storage of these artifacts also extends to their exhibiting. Our Ministry - The Ministry of Culture and Recreation - provides guidelines for museum museum boards and staff to follow. The Museums Advisors Advisors of that Ministry know that small museums do not have a lot of funds to work with, and that our progress towards becoming a completely efficient efficient museum has to be carefully budgeted for each year, so that we can make a little more progress each year towards goals set for conservation needs, storage needs, exhibiting needs, etc. Museum work is very complex complex - and is very interesting to do for that reason. It can also be dangerous work, for some chemicals recommended recommended as cleaning agents, or as mould retardants, are known - or suspected - cancer- producing agents. Even some moth-preventatives used in museum work are thought to damage the liver. So you can see that museum workers have to believe in the ultimate value of their work, to take ott all its aspects. This year, as well as our displays at Orono, we will be offering different changing exhibits at the Kirby School- house. The first one, in May, will outline the variety of services and safeguards that We provide to you, the communities were represent. We hope you will come and see this exhibit; you may be pleasantly surprised at how much we do, and how much we can help you. And even if you have no interest in history, or museums, it is a good chance to see how far we stretch your tax dollars. Swimming Pools Inground Pools installed or kits.
