About

On April 2, 2020, Robert Snyder (Manhattan borough historian and Professor of Journalism and American Studies at Rutgers University-Newark) convened an online meeting of New York City based historians to begin discussing how the profession could respond to the growing Covid-19 crisis. Knowing that historians, archivists, and educators far beyond my own community were likely having the same conversations, this website is an attempt to provide the service of a centralized reference to as many of those responses as possible. I am not conducting any kind of evaluation or review of these projects, only sharing their existence. Please send suggestions and links using the Submit page.
