Late June Video Chat
Safely Reopening Maine's Museums and Archives
Collecting institutions throughout Maine are struggling with reopening as Maine slowly comes out of the economic shutdown. This event is the third video chat that the Association of Maine Archives and Museums is hosting to help!
Participants will share experiences and discuss Maine's reopening guidelines, as they apply to collecting institutions in Maine. We will spend part of the hour in discussion as one big group and part of the hour in breakout groups.
For more information on reopening guidelines, including the guidelines for Maine museums released May 27, 2020, by the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development, as well as guidelines collected by the MAM Board of Directors from experts around the country, see www.MaineMuseums.org/COVID-19.
