Dear Friends of AASLH:

I know all of you are upset about the effects of Hurricane Katrina. We cannot forget the history organizations that may have suffered, and will continue to suffer for some time.

I'm pleased to tell you that the American Association of Museums jumped in immediately and is developing pages on its website to report on museums affected by Hurricane Katrina and recovery efforts. It will include information about federal and technical assistance, updates on reports of damage, and information about how to contribute money or expertise. The pages should be posted very soon and will be updated as information is received. http://www.aam-us.org/

AASLH and AAM have confirmed with Richard Waterhouse, executive director, that the Southeastern Museums Conference has established a fund for museums affected by Hurricane Katrina. Checks should be made payable to SEMC with Hurricane Katrina Fund noted in the memo field. The mailing address is SEMC, P.O. Box 9003, Atlanta, GA 31106. The SEMC board will make decisions regarding distribution of the funds.

We want to thank AAM and SEMC for their good work. And we will all hold history organizations in the southeast close to our hearts and minds.

Terry Davis, President & CEO
