dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to bring awareness to museum professionals about how to identify, prevent, and care for ethnographic objects suffering from glass bead deterioration. These objects appear in several different types of museums, including: history museums. art museums, natural history museums, tribal museums, and anthropology museums. I also located glass beads and beaded objects in collections at a children's museum, bead museums, textile museums, and a glass museum. Because of the wide range of museums that hold ethnographic beadwork, I included a broad range of museums in my research. This project is intended for collections managers and registrars who deal with ethnograhic collections.
