Appendix Checklist - Olfactory Storytelling Toolkit: A 'How-To' Guide for Working with Smells in Museums and Heritage Institutions

This appendix checklist serves as a tool for reference when taking the first steps of creating an olfactory event. This brief overview serves as a guide, summarising the steps taken in the chapters of the Olfactory Storytelling Toolkit: A 'How-To' Guide for Working with Smells in GLAMs and to point one in the right direction. This checklist and its phases of observation and reflection were inspired by the proposed methodology in the monograph: The Dress Detective: A Practical Guide to Object-Based Research in Fashion (2015) by Ingrid Mida Alexandra Kim. The dress detective's object-based methodology can be used, albeit modified, for olfactory events too. In this appendix, the object-based research methodology is meant in a more metaphysical or abstract way, where the object of study can also be a smellscape or an olfactory object, a story about or told through smell. 

The Appendix Checklist could not have been possible without the help of the Olfactory Storytelling Toolkit's junior editor, Alex McQueen who led its creation.
