"We also began last spring proactively collecting artifacts, images and personal accounts of the pandemic," she adds. "Acquiring objects from present-day is always difficult, as hindsight usually gives better perspective. But if artifacts aren't collected now, they may not be available in the future. So we've added to our collections artifacts like signs and masks, of course, but also images of covid testing, empty store shelves, people wearing masks, seniors in nursing homes and closed businesses. "The artifacts and images include those representing all sorts of people in Northwest Arkansas, including children and seniors, the Latinx and Marshallese populations so adversely affected, the medical community and those who've become unemployed," she enumerates. "And we'd welcome anyone with a story, artifacts or images related to the pandemic to contact us about a possible donation." Now it's time for the doors to reopen — based on "CDC's covid-19 guidelines, Arkansas and Northwest Arkansas covid-19-related statistics, recommendations by the Arkansas Health Department, directives by the city of Springdale and anecdotal reports of the public's comfort level for re-engaging," Lord says. "As much as possible, we've tried to keep the Shiloh Museum experience as varied, interesting and fun as in pre-covid days. But we live with the realities of the coronavirus, so there are some changes that will affect everyone who visits, for their protection and that of the museum staff and volunteers." That means guidelines that include required face masks, a limited number of visitors at a time, social distancing recommendations, the continued closure of the museum store and all historic buildings and the temporary removal of all hands-on displays. Also important to know is that some events will remain online only, among them school education programs, Sandwiched In lectures and Shiloh Saturdays. Lord says the Ozark Quilt Fair, in its 42nd year, will debut on the museum's website on Sept. 12 — "the same second-Saturday in September we traditionally hold the fair." "Folks have sent in a photograph of one of their quilts, along with the quilt's pattern and history," she says, and the display at ShilohMuseum.org will include clickable music from the Roving Gambler Band. "It will almost be like our annual quilt fair!" Also, Lord says, look for the museum's initiative, launching soon, responding to the George Floyd murder and the resulting Black Lives Matter protests. 125 E.
