The June 23 session focuses on core documents that assist in managing a collection, featuring a presentation by Jessica Trickett, manager of Collections and Curatorial Services at the Mahoning Valley Historical Society, which operates the Arms Family Museum and the Tyler Mahoning Valley History Center in Youngstown.

The year-long Collection Management Series, led by the Local History Corps District 4 through the Ohio History Service Corps’ AmeriCorps program, includes four separate sessions. The first in May focused on collection management policy. The third session will be 1 p.m. July 14 on cataloging and data entry, and the final part of the series will be Aug. 11 on preservation and storage.

She holds a master’s degree in History and a certificate in Historic Preservation from Youngstown State University.
