Hello everyone, This year, DLF’s Museums Cohort turned 5<https://www.diglib.org/dlfs-museums-cohort-turns-5/> and, like all of DLF’s Working Groups<https://www.diglib.org/groups/>, we continued to thrive in 2020.

Join us for our first 2021 meeting on January 27 at 2pm ET/11am PT. 2020 has been an eventful year, with lots of changes for all of us, including the DLF Museums Cohort. After surveying our membership this summer, in September we instituted an alternating schedule for monthly calls, with a new salon-style open discussion format, during which there is no pre-planned topic or presentation. These meetings occur every other call, alternating with our traditional invited presentations, and provide attendees the opportunity to discuss problem-solving and solutions for current work projects. Speaking of invited speakers, we were thrilled that so many wonderful colleagues representing institutions across the globe shared with us this year. Highlights include: * Ashley Kelleher, Digital Projects & Systems Librarian, and Jessica Williams, IT Project Manager, of the British Museum Library discussed the library's launch of their new online catalog<http://clir.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zMTcyNzg4JnA9MSZ1PTM4MDEyODc5NCZsaT0yNzA2NjcxMw/index.html> at our August call. * Lotus Norton-Wisla, Digital and Community Outreach Archivist at Washington State University's Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation presented an overview of the incredible work being done at the Center and shared publicly available resources on their Sustainable Heritage Network site<http://clir.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zMTcyNzg4JnA9MSZ1PTM4MDEyODc5NCZsaT0yNzA2NjcxNQ/index.html>. * At our October call, we welcomed Rashad Bell and Regina Vitiello from the New York Botanical Garden's LuEsther T. Mertz Library and William & Lynda Steere Herbarium. Rashad and Regina discussed the library and herbarium's collaborative work to decolonize their catalogs<http://clir.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zMTcyNzg4JnA9MSZ1PTM4MDEyODc5NCZsaT0yNzA2NjcxNg/index.html>.
