Dear Mark and Richard,
This is likely frivolous amidst everything going on, but I wanted to put you two in touch, in case there's a way public history can facilitate the creation -- or students' creation -- of a repository of this strange time. Students would be acting less as historians, admittedly, than as chroniclers, recorders, memoirists, image collectors...but collecting materials (including screenshots and that sort of thing) that they think a future historian would want, is thinking like an historian. And if we did create a repository, it could be a source for a number of future projects, including perhaps for people in other disciplines. Again, we're all busy just getting through the day, and it's possible this sort of thing should just occur ad hoc, at the level of courses. But I thought I'd throw that in the air, in case Mark and public history might provide a framework.
Best,
Catherine
