Archives forum during the Coronavirus pandemic

Submitted by Jennifer Vaughn on Tue, 17/03/2020 - 15:02

Dear IASA (and BAS) members,

I wanted to give IASA members an opportunity to ask each other questions, give general updates, and share strategies and plans for keeping archives afloat during the COVID-19 crisis. Many of our countries are in different stages of planning, preparedness, and response to different levels of the outbreak; and probably our various organizations are handling the situation differently as well. Though we often think of broadcast archives as having unique and proprietary technologies and workflows, we might all stand to benefit from sharing what's working and what's not with each other. I am working from home myself, and have been tasked with coming up with potential projects for our colleagues in far-flung bureaus should they need to work from home as well.

I am starting to feel a bit isolated and disconnected as well and would love to hear updates from our fellow broadast archivists to boost morale and feelings of community. We rarely use these fora, and now seems like a good time to start. All replies to this thread are welcome as we give this a try--please let us know how you're doing and what challenges you are facing!

And if you for some reason do not want your post to be visible to the public and have a BAS-specific comment or question, please post on that members-only forum.
