<div dir="ltr">We are actively discussing plans for our research museum collections at the University of Michigan Research Museums Center over the next month or so, especially as it relates to students, volunteers, and visitors. </div>

</div>
<div dir="ltr">While I have seen comments on AAMG-L about how people associated with public galleries are being impacted, I don't recall seeing the same from the collections community. I suspect some of you, esp. in university collections, have been faced
with class cancellations and restrictions on travel and possibly visitors and you are likely having similar conversations. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Out of curiosity, how are you planning to handle activities in your collections?
