Title

The COVID-19 Oral History Project

Description

Accepting both crowdsourced oral histories and formal oral histories, this initiative is a partner project with The Journal of the Plague Year. Influenced by rapid response collecting, this project has been driven by students in the IUPUI Public History Program to capture the experiences of individual people in Indiana and beyond during the pandemic. Embracing open access and open source frameworks, the interviews added to the collection will be shared with researchers and with the public to help individuals and communities interpret this pandemic.
