***#ARCSchat Dec 1 @ 12:00 p.m. ET*** For the field of collections care, 2020 has been a year of challenges and change. Filled with worldwide lockdowns and government-mandated travel bans, institutions have been forced to dramatically revise how they manage the care of their traveling collections. With an uncertain timeline ahead of us, are these changes temporary, or have we started to embark on a “new normal”?
As this year winds down to a close, join #ARCSchat as we discuss with panelists Errin Copple of LACMA, Marie Knidler of Louvre Abu Dhabi/Agence France Museums, Stefanii Ruta Atkins of MoMA, and Sara Buehler of the Brandywine River Museum of Art how the uncertain future of the courier might start to take shape, and what permanent changes might actually remain as we move forward. https://www.youtube.com/c/AssociationofRegistrarsandCollectionsSpecialists ***Committee Spotlight: Conference Content Committee*** The ARCS Conference Content Task Force is part of the Conference Committee and is composed of members from across the United States and Canada. Working closely with the Conference Logistics Task Force, the Content team is responsible for developing the 2021 Biennial Conference program. This is the first conference that will be officially developed by a committee of nominated ARCS members from a variety of institutions. The 2021 Conference may be one of the most challenging conferences to develop and plan due to COVID-19 and uncertainty of the future. However, in this time of flux, the Content Team is focusing on possibilities rather than limitations. The team is introducing some exciting new ways to participate in the conference. Keep a look out for the Call for Proposals as well updated information on the conference website: https://www.arcsinfo.org/programs/2021-montreal-conference. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l@mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://lists.mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/mcn-l@mcn.edu/
