Archaeology House Content Management Helper is a Stardew Valley mod that is aimed at improving the management of the Library/Museum. It provides status information about found books and contributed items and improves management of museum pieces. It largely fixes the in-game bug preventing item placement in certain cases and allows item rearrangement even if you have nothing to donate.

Furthermore, to help the user bringing structure into his museum pieces arrangement, each selected item will display a tooltip showing detailed item information. To make rearrangement less tedious, items can be directly swapped with each other and gamepad cursors can now also be used to select an item (instead of only being usable when an item is selected).

Lost Books can now be "grabbed & sent" to the library even if the user's inventory is full. No longer will the user have to make space for a book which it doesn't occupy anyway and leaves the user with an empty slot in the inventory. Once the player found all books, a congratulations message will be displayed.

Lost Books can now be read without having to go the library. Simply open the "Collections" page in the game menu and scroll to its last sidetab ("Lost Books"). The books found by the player so far will be listed there and they can be read by clicking on them. A book content preview is also shown on mouse hover.

Also fixes some small bugs in the original game (such as pressing the 'Ok' button next to the inventory will select the item beneath it instead of exiting the menu).
