[Nhcoll-l] University of Michigan Research Museum Center closing temporarily

[Richard Rabeler]

Colleagues:

In response to the ongoing events associated with COVID-19, access to the
University of Michigan collections located at the Research Museum Center
[RMC] (Herbarium, Museum of Zoology, Museum of Anthropological Archaeology,
and Museum of Paleontology) will now be limited.

As of March 18, 2020 the RMC is temporarily closed to the public and
collections are suspending non-essential operations; this includes access
to the collections via scientific visits or outgoing loans.  Users may
continue to access collections information via aggregators or the UM
Digital Library (https://quod.lib.umich.edu/).

Please do not ship collections (gifts, exchange, loan returns, etc.) to the
museum at this time; any loan requests will be filled when possible
depending on staff availability and collections access.

We will reopen when we are advised that it is safe to do so.


Sincerely,

Richard K. Rabeler,

Chair, RMC Joint Collections Operations Committee

Senior Collections Manager, University of Michigan Herbarium
