<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Thank you to all heritage sites in Oregon who have responded to the Governor’s stay at home order and closed your doors these past two months. While we don’t know when restrictions will be
lifted or when people will feel safe visiting heritage sites again, we do know that reopening will take a great deal of planning. Let’s start strategizing together! Join colleagues from our heritage network to think through potential scenarios, where to find
guidance in your community, and tips on how to start building flexible plans for reopening with safety at the forefront. Questions, ideas, and concerns are welcome. This is a chance to brainstorm as a group. Some questions to consider:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Have you considered a survey to your staff/community/members/volunteers about their thoughts on what would make them feel safe working at/visiting the site?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Archives, museums, and cultural heritage organizations across the world are struggling with the impact of COVID-19. As public spaces remain closed, archives and museums are challenged with
fulfilling their mission while seeking economic relief. Many archives and museum professionals are facing precarious employment as they struggle to prove the value of their work. This webinar is a follow up to the Society of American Archivists' "Deriving
Value from Collections in the Time of Corona (COVID-19)" (view: https://youtu.be/vhK2ww1_ZR8). Please join me for a deeper dive into strategies for how to capture and communicate the value of collection work. The webinar will offer a framework to define the
value of your work, discuss mechanisms for capturing value, and offer strategies for communicating the value of your work to your boss, your board, your fellow staff, and your community stakeholders.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">An Oregon Heritage Tradition designation recognizes events more than 50 years old that represent what it means to be an Oregonian. Designated events are unique locally, regionally, and statewide.
In short, these events add to the livability and identity of the state. Oregon has 24 designated Oregon Heritage Traditions. So what do these event organizers do during this time when the very definition of the “tradition” aspect is threatened? The most recent
post on the Oregon Heritage Exchange examines these tough decisions, the risks and opportunities, history of decisions like this, and some ideas for cancelled Traditions.
