Hello,
A couple days ago I attended a webinar from C2C Collections Care on the Reopening Archives, Libraries and Museums Project or REALM.

Basically, REALM is a research project conducted by OCLC, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and Battelle to produce science-based information about how materials can be handled to mitigate COVID-19 exposure to staff and visitors of archives, libraries, and museums. It is presented in lay terms so those of us who are not scientific types can understand the data.

It was an excellent presentation and one that I believe should be shared with all archivists, librarians and museums. I have attached the basic power point presentation and a resource list. The complete webinar with discussion was recorded and should be available soon at https://www.connectingtocollections.org/archives/<https://www.connectingtocollections.org/archives/>
This is the web site for REALM:
https://www.oclc.org/realm/home.html<https://www.oclc.org/realm/home.html>

On the website under resources there are tool kits that are geared to archives, libraries or museums. The information presented shares data from experiments that were conducted to see how long the Covid-19 virus remains on paper, books or other materials. What was found that in the end, quarantining the objects after having been handled may be the best disinfecting method as chemicals, UV, heat, fogging or other disinfectants could prove harmful to books and paper collections.

Another excellent resource is the Northeast Document Conservation Center or https://www.nedcc.org/<https://www.nedcc.org/> . Their website contains various preservation leaflets on a variety of subjects and information on the care of books, photographs and audio to name a few.

If possible, can you please share this information with any other organizations that you know?

In that beautiful airborne moment, it didn't matter that so many of us were watching from the places where we've quarantined for almost a year. As humans, we were together, united in joy.
-CNN's resident space writer Ashley Strickland, who, after writing for years about NASA's ambitious Mars rover, Perseverance, watched it touch down on the Red Planet

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.
