Description

This collection seeks to reflect the varied ways that Brooklynites were impacted by and responded to the coronavirus crisis. Materials to be collected include artifacts, artworks, signs from businesses, government-issued posters, grocery lists and receipts, housing-related documentation, communications from mutual aid organizations, remote education materials, correspondence, journals, and diaries. Texts, images, recorded sound, and videos can be submitted as digital content through an online form. Physical objects are not currently being accepted, but the staff of the historical society is accepting photographs of objects to be considered for donation when the institution reopens to the public.
