[Nhcoll-l] Collections and Covid-19

[Menard, Katrina]

We’re trying to figure this out as well at UConn. We just found out campus will be shut down as well this weekend. We’ll let you know what happens here.

Colleagues:

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.

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.

Out of curiosity, how are you planning to handle activities in your collections?

Sincerely,

Rich Rabeler,
Senior Collection Manager
University of Michigan Herbarium
