Title
COVID-19 Jewish Ephemera Collection
Description
Accepting submissions of digital ephemera, i.e., "items people would not necessarily think to keep, but that will later define our communities and our culture for generations." Global in scope with twenty-five countries represented so far in the collection, with most material coming from the United States and Israel. Framed as a "digital geniza," it is specifically requesting publicly circulated emails, memes, posters, synagogue timetables, institutional announcements, kosher restaurant menus, invitations, and advertisements. It has been publicized broadly in Jewish news sources, institutional blogs, personal networks, and personal and institutional social media channels. This collecting project is built upon efforts to collect physical and digital ephemera from Europe.
