As the COVID-19 pandemic transforms lives across the city, nation, and world, The New York Public Library seeks to document this pivotal moment in our history—and wants to hear and preserve your story. The Pandemic Diaries project invites submissions, via an online form, audio recordings of yourself or your loved ones telling personal stories about life amid the pandemic. The audio diaries collected as part of this project will document the experiences of people from all walks of life, in their own words. These diaries will be archived in NYPL’s research libraries—the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts—to be preserved and made available to the public, scholars, journalists, and students for decades to come.
