Corona Virus Resources FOR MUSEUMS

There are a great many lists of resources available to help individuals and organizations respond to the Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic.   We have focused this list on resources that we think are most useful for museums. We will be making additions as new material becomes available.    If you know of a resource that you think should be added, please send it to Janice Klein, MAA Executive Director at azmuseums@gmail.com. 

Thanks (and wash your hands).
