Komodo Dragon Preparation, Step 3: Cleaning and Articulating the Bones
The bugs in our infamous Bug Room here at the ROM did an amazing job cleaning our Komodo Dragon bones. However, there was still some manual cleaning required. Luckily, there were dozens of volunteers ready to assist in the process; removing pieces of tendon or dried bits of muscle that the Hide
ROM Volunteer Profile: Patricia Harris
Patricia Harris is a true testament to the profound impact of volunteerism. Who could have imagined that when Mrs. Harris – Pat to the many people who work with her – started volunteering with the ROM in 1958, she would not only stay with the commitment for over five decades, but would have a

Re-enactment, Archaeology, and the Ancient Rome & Greece Weekend: I of IV
As an archaeologist the main goal in my work is to understand the people of the past, and to share that understanding with others. As a museum archaeologist, a good way to share that knowledge is at family weekends, like the ROM's Ancient Rome & Greece Weekend on June 15 th-16 th 2013! I

Re-enactment, Archaeology, and the Ancient Rome & Greece Weekend IV of IV: The Tunic
An important part of everyday life in the past, but one with very little impact on the archaeological record, is clothing. Hence clothing is obviously an important part of my attempt to recreate the equipment of a soldier from 3rd century Dura-Europos. People typically wore clothes in the past, but
Re-enactment, Archaeology, and the Ancient Rome & Greece Weekend V of IV: The Final Story
Ancient Rome & Greece Weekend is over, and I thought I would show you the results of my attempt to create a recreation, re-enactment, or impression of a soldier from Dura-Europos (so this is not really one of the original IV, so to speak, hence it is V of IV). In the group above you can see me
