Old State House Museum Collections Blog

   Welcome to the Old State House Collections Blog.  This is the first post of what will hopefully be a productive and well-received project.  Our goal is to provide regular updates on the activities of the Collections Department, rich with information and multimedia concerning the museum's history and extensive collections.  The Old State House Museum has been on the leading edge of museum technology, seeking ways to make the museum's collection accessible and useful to the general public.  Rare for historical museums, the OSH Museum has posted it's entire collection for public viewing on our eMuseum website.  After all, a museum preserves and interprets collections of artifacts in trust of the public. E-Museum and this blog are simply modern extensions of this basic function.  We hope you enjoy the articles and podcasts we provide, and should you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us with your thoughts.  Thanks for visiting!
