Ernest Dollar calls himself a professional hoarder, but he's actually a historian who has overseen the City of Raleigh Museum , the Pope House, and other important historical sites for over a decade, and whose role is expanding to help preserve and educate on even more of the city's history.
We talked to Ernest about the role of museums and historians, some of his favorite exhibits, and whether he's ever felt like Indiana Jones in an effort to track down a Raleigh artifact.
Tune in to hear about the state of museums, what happens to all the artifacts that are collected, how technology has expanded the reach of museums, and what's coming near future in terms of telling the story of Raleigh, its people, and its history.
