Title

Queens Memory COVID-19 Project

Description

Queens Public Library has invited submissions by voicemail, on social media, and through online forms. The open-ended invitation to document an account of one's experience in Queens during the pandemic and to conduct oral history interviews is motivated by the desire to create a testament to the struggles and resiliency of the borough. Informational flyers were produced in eight different languages with instructions for how to contribute to the collection, including by phone and online.
