Timeline PhotosWe’re pleased to confirm that we will be giving everyone free access to our digitised collections very soon, but it’s taking our amazing digital team a bit of time to make it happen.
They’re facing similar challenges to the rest of the world with regard to connecting to our various technical systems while working from home, and many of them are also juggling childcare duties. Stay tuned for an update soon!
EDIT: To clarify, we’re referring to digitised collections that are available on our website (and usually chargeable) – at this stage, this doesn’t extend to our collections on other sites.
Checking on our seniors is critical and Maryland has set up this voluntary program.
A Message from the HSHC President
Hello,
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has enacted an executive order requiring closure of all non-essential businesses as of 5PM EST, on March 23rd in order to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in Maryland.
We, here at the Society, kept our distance and watched as the events unfolded. As predicted, our fast approach to the crisis paid off. Not allowing volunteers and visitors into the building eliminated the possible transfer of the virus.
To the people that work tirelessly behind the scenes, your hard work is greatly appreciated. These are Historic times! I am focused on doing the right thing for all. I will continue to keep you, our staff, volunteers, visitors and employees at the forefront of my decision making through this crisis.
As we gain information and remain in crisis mode, all events are canceled or postponed. Carol Deibel, Events Committee Chair, and I will be working on postponed dates and or cancellation of future events. CarolDeibel@verizon.net
Maryanna Skowronski, Society Director, will continue to report to work on a very limited basis. Contact can still be made by email or phone, but admittance will be limited to emergency and maintenance personnel.
Please continue to stay informed through trusted sources such as the Harford County Health Department website at: harfordcountyhealth.com/coronavirus/ and the Maryland Department of Health website at: coronavirus.maryland.gov/ as more information is gathered surrounding this situation.
We are all in this complicated, uncertain and rapidly changing situation together, and we encourage everyone to look out for each other. Please take care of yourselves and your loved ones. We encourage you to consult www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html for information and updates.
I hope that all of you are remaining safe in this uncertain time. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at president@harfordhistory.org
Thank you,
Bill Walden
President
