I Love working on the collection

Today I have got my own computer logging but unfortunately I still cannot log in my EMU system. In the afternoon the curator asked me to give a hand to transport department in case I got bored. The registrar, a very kind-hearted man, patiently taught me how to mark the number of received artworks and how to unpack them as well as how to place them into storage place safely. I do know plenty of handling work already but today's practice gave me more useful information about it. The registrar taught me every part of the packaging of the work and its usage. Also he told me that the artwork must be faced down when placed on the table and ready to be unpacked; after unpacking, the painting must be reversed to let the image face your body in case the image got hurt during moving. The knife used to cutting the packing type cannot be extended too long otherwise the work might be cut all together. Before putting the work on the floor there must be a special sponge get ready, and it is OK to stack works vertically but stacking several together requires a foam plane to separate them. After unpacking and storing all those received works the numbers that have not been marked on the sheet must be checked on the computer. All of these are important things that I have never learnt from my textbook. From textbook I know that wearing rubber gloves are essential for handling artworks but today it was very exciting for me to wear a pair of rubber gloves to handling collections.
