A Journal of the Plague Year: An Archive of Covid-19 (covid19.omeka.net/) invites people to act not just as historians, but as chroniclers, recorders, memoirists, and image collectors, assembling what future historians might need to write about and understand this historical moment. People can share their experience and impressions of how CoVid19 has affected their lives, from the mundane to the extraordinary, including the ways things haven’t changed at all. Contributions can include text, images, video, tweets, texts, Facebook posts, Instagram or Snapchat memes, and screenshots of the news and emails–anything that speaks to paradoxes of the moment. 

Initiated by historians at Arizona State University, the project has emerged as a curatorial consortium that includes faculty and graduate students from around the United States and the world.
