This article presents, in discussion format, reflections about the information policy issues currently impacting cultural heritage, education, memory, and knowledge institutions. While librarians have naturally focused primarily on the impacts of the information policies of the second Trump administration has focused on libraries and schools, the types of institutions being affected are much broader. Placing an emphasis on archives, museums, and galleries, this dialogue illuminates the unique challenges to these institutions, as well as the parallels to the challenges faced by other institutions, such as libraries. Professional education, advocacy, and communication with the public are explored as core strategies that can be used by archives and museums in response to the current political climate.
