Resources have always been limited in the museum field, arguably more so for small museums. Small museums have developed systems that are flexible and for better or worse, allow a lot to get done with limited staff and funding. The COVID-19 pandemic showed the value of small museum tools to be nimble and efficient. As we approach a changed world with a mind towards more sustainable organizations, join our speakers to hear about mergers and organizational partnership systems to share staff and resources that make small museum work more effective and efficient.
