The Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) in Phoenix, Arizona opened in 2010. It was built from the ground up with the goal of housing musical instruments from every country in the world. The museum has over 13,000 objects in its collection which are on display in galleries and special exhibition spaces. Building the collection involved acquiring instruments from around the world, which presented challenges related to shipping, customs, and cultural sensitivities. The museum staff worked to install the collection exhibits while also moving the growing collection into the new facility and building storage and documentation systems. Ongoing work includes finishing installation, cataloging the collection, developing policies and caring for the instruments on long-term display.

Lessons learned are that scope and procedure need refinement, more upfront research is important, and field work cannot be replaced. Next steps include filling collection gaps, replacing placeholders, research, and reviewing relationships to exhibit narratives.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Makers: both existing and commissioned objects
Selmer Mark VI, tenor saxophone (pic next slide). Vichy Auction Dec. 2008. Reliance on research and as ex. Of a particular desired model. Certain collections, in a number of cases a) we might know who collected it where and when, but not much else (same with Grémaux/Balkans and Kilpatrick/Asia); in one exception b) Fiske: was well-researched (archives, though in disorder with both acquisition and research documents). Collections as well as the objects themselves have a history.Zampogna, Italy (pic next slide). Our consultant worked with musicians in the field.
Challenges all resulting from positive aspects of the project 1. wish list: subject to market and traditionsPeru, 2 instruments and costume used in Scissor’s Dance: from Los Danzaq de Ayacucho,the most famous group performing this dance. Malena: “These are all initiated instruments, also the costume. A little bit like the Cuban story, the Peruvian instruments only can be used by their owners/performers. It was necessary to get permission from the shrine where they were initiated in order to acquire them. The musicians (harp and violin players) and the dancer, were convinced by my anthropologist friend whom they knew well because he has published about this dance and had worked with them, somebody they trusted, convinced them that, if they agreed to sell their own initiated instruments, their art would be shared by many people.”3. Time: availability; limited available resources: permissions, access/research; logistics
3. Time: we doubled our acquisition goal ½-way through. Raising the bar to make an ambitious goal led to the making of a great start – a collection with diversity and breadth that will attract other donations and loans.
Possible questions: How did you determine what was a country?How did these acquisitions relate to the education collection?Are there opportunities for guests to play instruments? (Experience Gallery)3) Policy re: playing the collection (Some instruments acquired with this in mind)
Story about object sitting in Egypt. Didn’t know why. The packer could not receive trucks and had to find an alternate way to get the objects to the shipper.
One of the mount makers Mike, checks the fitting of a brass instrument on a mount.
Nature of the collection unique challenge for conservation: constants: the collection – its diversity, acquired all over the world – from brand new (varnished yesterday) through beautifully used & cared for to centuries old & fragile

Office building, two rooms with restricted access, collection still very small ‘South storage’: oversized (mainly pianos)‘North Storage’: shelves, tables for unpacking, makeshift lab (water in bucket from janitors room) – pretty, but not functional, limited suppliesNot sealed; connected to HVAC system with the rest of the building – thereby temperature controlled, humidity control impossible Some very basic treatments, mainly cleaning
