Last Monday, the 2nd March, saw the beginning of the move of the collections in preparation for the building of the Museum's new Sammy Ofer Wing, which will include a new archive and library store.
Perhaps the most laborious part of the job has been labelling each of the shelves in the order that they need to be packed - the vagaries of the storage system meaning that it is not as simple as starting at one end of the room and moving to the other! We are also trying to rationalise, as far as we can, the present system of storage, reuniting materials from collections that have become separated over the years - hopefully this will make the task of locating items easier in the future.
