[NHCOLL-L:1197] AAM Establishes Web site to assist in relief for NYC Museums

[Beth Merritt]

Dear Colleagues,

In support of our friends and colleagues in New York City, the American
Association of Museums is establishing a section of our Web site to assist
with distribution of information and resources. We will post information on:

*	the status of museums in the affected area, 
*	information on disaster recovery
*	offers of resources and assistance (space, staff, expertise, etc.)
from colleagues in the museum community
*	contact information for staff in the affected area who provide us
with alternate phone numbers/fax numbers/email addresses for people trying
to reach them
Please submit any information you have regarding status of museums in the
affected areas, or offers of assistance, to helpnyc at aam-us.org
<mailto:helpnyc at aam-us.org> . The Web site will be operational within 24
hours, and will be linked to the AAM main Web page at www.aam-us.org
<http://www.aam-us.org> . 

All our love and support goes out to the people of New York. Thank you for
helping us to provide what assistance we can.

Yours sincerely,

Beth Merritt
