Behind the scenes: Exhibit Design (or, how the historic sausage is made)

The staff at ACHS has one goal when creating exhibits: to make the presentation of information pleasant to consume. Contrary to logical thought, a simple display takes far more staff time than a complicated one packed with textual information and items on display. We want to pull the curtain back on the process and how the current exhibit, “Take Your Place in History,” came to exist.

ACHS Hiring Process: Going at it Blind

Saying goodbye to exemplary staff as they move to other parts of their career journey never makes the top 10 list of things to do in a day. That said, the growth of staff members does make my top 10—my top five, even—and so here we are, searching for a new human to fill the position of curator/archivist at the Anoka County Historical Society
