Reflections on Reading Artifacts Summer Institute 2012

The week of August 13-17 I attended the Reading Artifacts Summer Institute 2012 (RASI) at the Canada Science and Technical Museum (CSTM) in Ottawa. Many of the participants were museum professionals and scientists who came to gain knowledge and experience about working with, recording, and displaying objects; others, like me, were concerned with obtaining a deeper understanding of how to work with artifacts as primary documents.
