The Getty has partnered with the City of Los Angeles to rethink how the metropolis identifies and preserves local Black heritage landmarks. The Los Angeles African American Historic Places Project, as the three-year initiative is called, will see the Getty’s Conservation Institute and the city’s Office of Historic Resources (OHR) work with communities and cultural institutions to celebrate sites that best represent Black life.

Dear Colleagues,
How's your city mourning the pandemic? The city of London has created a wall dedicated to all victims of COVID-19: The national COVID Memorial Wall. As the world continues to battle the spread of disease, artists and architects are helping memorialize those we lost.

Please let us know if similar initiatives are taking place in your city. Send us photos and we will share them on our social media.

Dear City Museums Colleagues,
What are your thoughts on the subject of online monuments?
As activities online have boomed, so artists have found new avenues; in this case creating augmented reality monuments on the app, Snapchat! Monuments honoring local street vendors, indigenous peoples, and a former female slave who became a wealthy landowner have all popped up in Los Angeles—well, sort of. In fact, they’re virtual monuments, viewable via augmented reality, thanks to a new partnership between the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and Snap Inc., the parent company of Snapchat.
