The Pequot Museum’s Ethnographic and Contemporary Art Collections contain more than 2,000 objects which illustrate the culture of tribes from the Eastern Woodlands, especially New England, as they were and as traditions are continued today. Some are on display within Museum exhibits or at the Trading Post. Each week on our Facebook page we feature a “Treasure of the Week.”
The purpose of the Collections Manager/Registrar is to oversee the care, handling and inventory of all ethnographic, contemporary and some archaeological objects within the collection. There are three main areas: responsibility for the condition, reporting, crating, shipping, and movement of objects inside and outside of the museum environment; responsibility for the inventory of the collection as well as the incoming and outgoing loan process between other institutions; and providing assistance to various departments within the museum.
