Danyelle also continues to volunteer her time when able in museums collections. She has worked at the Maryland Historical Society, Winterthur, The Jewish Museum of Maryland, The Baltimore Museum of Industry (where she conducted a Collections Stewardship MAP) and the Susquehanna Museum at the Lock House. Danyelle had worked in museum collections for 13 years prior to joining AAM. in History from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and her M.A. Recorded: Thursday, SeptemDuration: 1 Hour 11 minutesĭanyelle Rickard is a Program Officer for the Museum Assessment Program (MAP) which is run by the American Alliance of Museums through a cooperative agreement with IMLS. She received a BA in History from Denison University and an MA in History: Archival, Museum, and Historical Editing Studies from Duquesne University. Tiffani previously served as Curator of Collections at Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area in Pittsburgh, PA, before temporarily venturing outside of the museum world to serve as Director of Market Operations at the startup Boston Public Market. Tiffani Emig is the CAP Coordinator for the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation. Benefits, similarities, and differences between the two programs will be explored to help you understand whether one (or both) might benefit your institution. This webinar will introduce participants to the Museum Assessment Program (MAP) administered by the American Alliance of Museums and the Collections Assessment for Preservation (CAP) program administered by the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation. Bone color has more to do with what happens to a body after death than in life.Are you looking to improve your museum’s collections care, organizational management, or community engagement, but don’t know where to begin? Do you have a long list of things you’d like to accomplish, but struggle with limited staff and resources? Assessment programs like MAP (Museum Assessment Program) and CAP (Collections Assessment for Preservation) can help by providing a road map to help you distinguish your critical needs from less important tasks. The color of a bone does not reveal ancestry.
Individuals with sub-Saharan African ancestry ( right) generally show greater facial projection in the area of the mouth, wider distance between the eyes, and a wider nasal cavity. Individuals with American Indian ancestry ( center) have proportionately wider faces and shorter, broader cranial vaults. Individuals with European ancestry ( left) tend to have straight facial profiles and narrower faces with projecting, sharply angled nasal bones. European, American Indian & Sub-Saharan African male skulls. Studies of skeletal remains from colonial Virginia and Maryland focus on the three groups who were here in the 1600s and early 1700s - individuals of European, American Indian, and sub-Saharan African origins. Identifying Ancestry in the Colonial Chesapeake By comparing a skull's measurements with data from populations worldwide, scientists can statistically evaluate that individual's relationship to a world group. The museum contains both a caf and a shop. In the permanent exhibitions, you can find everything from Neolithic objects, a silver treasure from the Viking Age and opera singer Christina Nilsson’s emerald jewelry. Smland Museum opened in its own building in 1885. Measuring the cranium gives us information that is similar to that from DNA. The Swedish Glass Museum shows the magical world of glass from different periods. The bones of the skull express inherited features from one generation to the next. We can also assess ancestral origins by looking at the skeleton itself. DNA can help associate an individual with a region of the world. These inherited markers are due to mutational changes that gradually accumulate and differentiate populations over time.
Many of these features reflect evolutionary processes, including adaptation to the environment.īone cells retain "biogeographical" information that is found in our DNA. Despite this variability, our bones have features that can be clues to ancestry. In living and past peoples, there is wide range of variability.
