Title

Haggadah: Telling Your Story in the Time of Coronavirus

Description

This project is collecting digital material in a variety of file forms, including text, images, and audio and visual files. It is interested in documenting social media posts, oral histories, organization announcements, and synagogue services streamed online. The geographic reach of the project extends throughout Washington State, attempting to engage individuals, including medical workers, students, and Jewish organizations. It engages different constituencies as "digital curators" (e.g., students working on students' material collection and tech industry members working to reach others in the field). Synagogues were contacted at the project's start and will be followed up with over a period of time. It has been publicized online by the institution, in the local Jewish news, and in synagogue newsletters.
