The AMA is working to collect, produce, and share physical and
digital resources to support organizations in the museum and
heritage sector to reopen and operate safely during the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic.
Learn more about available resources below.
Resource Guides
The AMA has produced a guide to address museum-specific
considerations and requirements to manage closure and to reopen and
operate safely during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a guide to best
practices for virtual experiences to engage with your visitors
online.

Health & Safety Toolkits
Health & Safety Toolkits provide museums and heritage
institutions with a variety of health and safety supports. A
physical toolkit, including wayfinding signage and floor stickers
to direct visitors and encourage physical distancing, is available
to order from the
AMA Bookstore for only the cost of shipping and
handling at a flat rate of $40 per toolkit.
Digital signage toolkits are also available, and include a
variety of print-ready messages to suit the different needs of your
organization and additional sets of customizable templates that can
be edited and updated as circumstances change.

in two online training courses from ARETE, COVID-19 Customer Conflict
Management Training and Workplace Violence
Prevention and De-escalation Training. Offered at no cost
through the
Government of Alberta, ARETE's online training gives employees
