Share Your Story

Please share your story about the impact of Covid-19 by filling out this page. (Haga clic acá para español.) We accept all sorts of materials into the digital archive, including textual stories and digital objects—images, video, audio interviews, tweets, Facebook posts, Instagram or Snapchat memes, PDFs, screenshots of the news and emails. We accept anything that describes the pandemic and speaks to paradoxes of the moment. Imagine, as we are, what future historians might need to write about and understand this historical moment.

If you are sharing an audio or video interview or oral history, we recommend sharing via this Submission Form.

The best stories speak personally about a moment or reflect your thoughts on the images or audio files that you're sharing.
