The retention of six staff to develop online programming and on-site programs for re-opening. 

Ensuring public access to educational resources has been Las Vegas Natural History Museum's focus since opening in 1991. When COVID-19 forced the Museum to close March 17, it shifted focus on creating free online educational resources. Enhancing Humanities Understanding Through Virtual Learning & Museum Programs will continue the Museum's effort to educate in the changing COVID-19 world. During the requested grant (July 1-Dec. 31, 2020), the Museum will: 1) Create 52 free online presentations covering multiple humanities topics; 2) Introduce a new exhibit featuring new archaeological discoveries in Nevada, which were preserved and curated by the Museum; 3) Present two in-Museum Humanities programs - Living History presentations and December to Remember Cultural Traditions - and complementary virtual learning components; and 4) Promote the Museum's Humanities educational resources. The grant will support a portion of salary for 4 staff & 2 Living History presenters.
