Social distancing, medieval style: keeping 2m apart with the help of a lance; Verdun Breviary, Bibliothèque-Discothèque Intercommunale de Verdun

Please note: the Resources Roundup spreadsheet now has its own page, where you will find the latest version; you will find the latest resources on reopening, funding, lockdown collections care and wellbeing here.

The Covid-19 lockdown has certainly lasted longer than I had anticipated when I posted my last website entry. But amidst all the sadness and gloom there have been some great patches of light and one of those has been the generosity of individuals and organisations in sharing collections care information and advice.

I have tried to keep on top of these for the benefit of the heritage community through my various sector roles as well as for my clients and thought it would be useful to bring them together in a single spreadsheet.  I have also tried to focus on information that will be helpful for small or medium sized institutions that may not have expansive resources to deal with the impact of the virus or the consequences of reopening services. Key resources are highlighted. I hope you find the attached helpful – the latest update is always available here, and the date of the last version is given below the link.

As always, stay safe and well, and if you need any help or advice please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
