Nerds of Albuquerque!
Join us for Nerd Nite #25 on Thursday, November 5th at 7 pm at Green Jeans Food Hall.
Nerd Nite is a monthly lecture series that takes place in bars in 100+ cities around the world. We love bringing you all free, entertaining, and informative talks about nerdoms of all shapes and sizes.
We’ve got a great show lined up for you all. We’re looking forward to seeing you soon. Join us to learn, laugh, and drink!
Our talks:
Title: From the Vault: Behind-the-Scenes Artifacts of the Nuclear Museum
Blurb: The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History is opening the vault. Get an up-close look at curator-selected artifacts rarely seen by the public and hear the stories behind them. Learn how these objects came into the collection, how museum professionals care for them, and why they help tell the story of the Atomic Age and beyond.
Speaker: Maria Sultemeier, Volunteer & Community Outreach Manager; Meghan Beaudet, Curatorial Assistant: Maria Sultemeier, Volunteer & Community Outreach Manager; Meghan Beaudet, Curatorial Assistant
Title: Retablos, Huipiles, Corridos, Oh My!: Digitization at the NHCC
Blurb: Delve into the digitization projects happening at the National Hispanic Cultural Center! Learn about the ins-and-out of what goes into digital preservation and how to deal with outdated cataloging language and standards. Is a piñata an amphora? What in the world is metadata?
Speaker: Emily Hanawalt, Head Registrar
Robin Sanchez, Archivist
