Hi I’m Priyanka Seshadri from the Partition Museum, Amritsar

Hi, my name is Leslie Winter. I am the Public Services Coordinator at Cushing Memorial Library and Archives, which is the special collections library for Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.

I was really interested to hear about the innovative programs, like the Lincoln's Cabin Game night, and writing in about resistance. Do you have other resources we can check out? We are trying to find things we can do remotely to tell patrons that we are still here, and that can serve as a record of how Texas A&M is dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thank you SO MUCH!

What lessons might you or your organizations offer for maintaining morale through this crisis? - Sarah Gould

I would be happy to!

Colleen Dillenscheider has been looking at the intent of visitors to visit cultural institutions. The work started pre-COVID. It's pretty interesting.

You speak of cultural organizations “coming back,” but so many have already been struggling. Do you think we’ll see many organizations simply fail and never come back?

Sure, I'll add you now. Thank you.

Thanks for the great information!
