"Handling of Museum Objects" is the first and foremost basic skill a museologist has to acquire since acquisition upto presenting for public viewing. Packing, transporting, documenting them are the transit stages that need proper handling, Hence, the Anthropology Section of the Government Muscum, Chennai has chosen this as the focal theme to conduct a workshop to mark the second phase of Prof. A. Aiyappan's Birth Centenary Celebrations, succeeding the first phase of it on a'Special Exhibition on Rock Art of India', in collaboration with the National Museum of Mankind, Bhopal.
Topics such as 'Handling of Ethnographic Materials: In Field Exploration', 'Handling of Ethnographic Materials: In Packing & Transporting', 'Handling of Ethnographic Materials: In Designing & Displaying' and 'Handling of Ethnographic Materials: Acquired Through Confiscation' were covered in this "Workshop on Handling of Ethnographic Materials" by eminent Curators of the Government Museum, Chennai. A batch of students drawn from various colleges in and around Chennai were imparted with the skill of handling of ethnographic materials during this Workshop.
Having realized that the importance of the deliberations of the Workshop will help those who want to acquire the skill, they are brought out now in this present form of a booklet.
I hope that this booklet on the focal theme of the aforementioned Workshop will remain as a useful reference work for those who are interested in acquiring the skill of 'Handling of Museum Materials", in general and 'Handling of Ethnographic Materials', in particular.
