We are collecting materials related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its sudden disruption of lives around the world. Our focus is on New York and the surrounding region and our goal is to document all aspects of these crises.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
We're interested in items related to the pandemic and quarantine, including the heroic efforts of healthcare and other essential workers; the experiences of the sick; the effects on businesses, schools, and cultural groups; and the creativity borne of isolation.
