At the end of August, our collection management group met for another registration session, this time at Sørvågen Radio.
Assembly line registration
The collection management group consists of head of collection, in addition to conservators and collection managers from the Norwegian Fishing Village Museum, Lofotr Viking Museum, and the museums in Storvågan.
They meet several times a year and do away with registration on assembly lines – this spring they visited the Lofoten Museum. More about that registration session can be read here.
At Sørvågen Radio – a telecommunications museum, much of the artefact collection consists of telecommunications equipment used over the years. During this registration session, phones and Morse devices were recorded and digitized.
