[Nhcoll-l] Royal BC Museum Closed

[Wheeler, Erica J RBCM:EX]

Dear Colleagues,


The Royal BC Museum is now closed to visitors and staff are working from home.  As a result, the loans program is suspended until further notice.


If you have loaned specimens to the Royal BC Museum
Rest assured, your specimens are being stored in museum cabinets, and we have 24-hour environmental monitoring and security in place.

If you have borrowed specimens from the Royal BC Museum
We ask that you continue to care for them on site, and do not ship them back to us until we reopen, with thanks.

If you have a pending loan request from the Royal BC Museum
We will not be able to fulfill your request at this time.  Please contact us to discuss alternate timelines once we reopen.

Thank you for your understanding.  Please contact us with any concerns.

Good health to you and your colleagues, friends and loved ones.

Kind regards,

Erica

?
