CSI: Registrars

Each year, in conjunction with the Western Museums Association Annual Meeting, RC-WR organizes its members to volunteer their professional skills at one of the museums near where the meeting is being held.

This all-day event is known as “CSI: Registrars” (short for Collections Services Initiative).

We tend to volunteer at smaller museums, to help them catch up on projects such as: accessioning, cataloging, condition reporting, rehousing objects or any other work that would benefit from the help of trained professionals. See some of our past projects.

2026 CSI: Registrars:

CALLING ALL WESTERN REGION REGISTRARS AND COLLECTIONS PROFESSIONALS!

CSI: Registrars 2026 is heading to Salt Lake City!

We will be at the Utah Military Museum (formerly Fort Douglas Military Museum).

They need assistance with organizing uncataloged objects and giving them temporary catalog numbers.

If we have enough able people, we could also help them move shelving.
