A free tour of the Philadelphia Athenaeum

About the Tour: A tour of the Athenaeum, including a large-scale archivally-safe scanner and large-scale printers. Come see the juxtaposition of the old National Historic Building with the new technology.

This will be a very different tour from the last. The workings aren't as high-tech, but it should offer a nice contrast to the very tech-heavy NMAJH interactives and touchscreens. It's a nice reminder that this group is about all forms of technology (not just the elaborate) and how they can be best utilized by museums.
