Help Us Make History

Description

The Help Us Make History project seeks to document the stories and experiences of the Yale community during the pandemic. This included an online survey for Yale undergraduates, collecting of public yale.edu websites, monthly prompts asking students, faculty and staff to provide text, video or photographic content documenting aspects of their personal, academic, and professional lives at Yale during the pandemic. Topics from prompts include photographs of study spaces, advice for students returning to campus, and what future students should know about life at Yale in 2020. Other areas of collecting include student works and faculty course content in pandemic-related classes and documentation of Yale parents. In addition, Help Us Make History has partnered with students to produce a podcast entitled "Say and Seal: Lives at Yale During COVID-19". Episodes include interviews with Yale students and faculty.
