The Carleton Covid-19 Archive focuses on the pandemic’s impact on Carleton College and its communities, and the responses and experiences of those communities. All submissions are welcome, but it especially encourages the participation of Carleton students, faculty, staff, alumni, neighbors, and community partners. Submissions can include materials of institutional and organizational responses, community responses, and personal responses and experiences in the formats of  photographs, announcements, posters, emails, journals, artwork, social media content, and more. Carleton students will curate submissions while also gathering materials for the archive themselves. A course blog provides additional insight into the course and the work students are doing on the project.

Once the urgency of the pandemic has passed, the project will work with the Carleton College Archives to determine the best permanent home for the items gathered by the project.
