What did heritage institutions, such as museums and archives, collect during the Covid19 pandemic to represent community experiences of that time? And what did they learn from having to reach audiences virtually and digitally while doors were closed?

This ‘Question Time’ style discussion brings together heritage sector professionals to reflect on how memory institutions responded to the Covid-19 lockdown and how those actions have gone on to inform their future. The discussion will be framed by key questions from the next generation of heritage professionals currently studying at the University of Glasgow and chaired by Sarah Cook, Professor of Museum Studies.

This event is presented by the College of Arts at the University of Glasgow as part of Being Human, the UK’s only national festival of the humanities, taking place 12–22 November. Led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy.
