K Pearlman Photography.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><p>The green-tinted bottle may have held mustard in the Civil War era, but its eight flattish sides gave University of Mary Washington junior Kai Bryant a brand new idea.<\/p><p>&ldquo;I wanted to prove it could be fully customizable,&rdquo; Bryant said of a summer project creating archival storage boxes with UMW senior Lily Hollar. With guidance from Assistant Professor of Historic Preservation Katherine Parker, they used a 3D printer to crank out containers for storing delicate artifacts like the octagonal vessel currently housed in Combs Hall.<\/p><p>The work was part of this year&rsquo;s Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Summer Institute (AHSSSI), which pairs students and professors for five weeks of scholarly study. The r&eacute;sum&eacute;- and career-building offering &ndash; which comes with a paycheck, plus food and housing for participants &ndash; strengthens skills in critical thinking, data literacy, website design, public speaking and more.<\/p><p>In addition to historic preservation, the fifth annual event included groups from communication and digital studies, linguistics, psychology, sociology and studio art. Each student-faculty team presented its process and results last week at a two-hour symposium in Seacobeck Hall&rsquo;s Weatherly Wing.<\/p><p>&ldquo;What makes AHSSSI particularly unique is that it gives an avenue for programs on campus to present research that people may not always think of as conducting research,&rdquo; said Associate Professor of Psychological Science Marcus Leppanen, who coordinates the institute. &ldquo;It provides an opportunity to develop marketable skills that apply directly to students&rsquo; future careers.&rdquo;<\/p><p>That&rsquo;s true for Smith and Hollar, who hope to carry the lessons they learned this summer into museum work. With Parker, they took meticulous measurements of assorted bottles, then used acid-free filament to print storage boxes and insert-trays that provide a tailor-made fit for artifacts and cost less than the cardboard containers many museums currently use.<\/p><section class=\"image-gallery layout__block\">\n\t<div class=\"image-gallery__inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-gallery__slideshow\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-gallery__slideshow__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-gallery__slideshow__main\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-gallery__slideshow__main__track\" js-slideshow-track=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-gallery__slideshow__slide\" js-slide=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-umw-gallery-main\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1131\" height=\"772\" data-attachment-id=\"110496\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/0965-k-pearlman-photography\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/0965-K-Pearlman-Photography-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1707\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"2.5\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"Canon EOS 5D Mark IV\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"1749620333\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"50\",\"iso\":\"1000\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0.005\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"1\"}' data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;UMW Assistant Professor of Historic Preservation Katherine Parker (left) helps senior Lily Hollar measure a storage tray in the Combs Hall Historic Preservation Lab.
