Camera-Ready
We have a phrase here, that describes the state of being prepared to receive museum visitors – camera-ready. Often the interpreters will head down to work on the Village site in the morning not quite entirely dressed. They’ve got clothes on, period clothes even, but maybe they’re not buttoned, maybe the women’s hair isn’t tied up, maybe they haven’t removed eyeglasses or nose rings, maybe they’re carrying a Dunkin’ Donuts cup.
Sometimes, we have a film or photo crew on the site before 9:00 and everyone needs to show up “camera-ready.” In that case there’ll be a big note in the Carriage House letting everyone know that.
Here Rebecca is technically camera-ready, but she still needs a couple of items to be really done.

Hi!
This is not related to Rebecca and her lovely pilgrim self, or being camera ready, but I have to say that I have a ridiculous number of classes that relate to Plymouth. I’m sure I told you guys about my 17th century American history class (we’re not focusing on New England yet, but we talked about conspicuous consumption as it relates to the 17th century and the jacket project as an example thereof.) and my museum studies class (in which we talked about Plimoth being the only museum that has very little in the way of original collection displayed). Plimoth really is in my blood if I can’t get away from it even though I only just left! That’s okay though. I love it and I can’t wait for a chance to go back.
