“When the pandemic began, we … thought immediately of the dilemma of how we archive such an important and dramatic unfolding event,” says Sarah Knott, professor of history at Indiana University Bloomington.
At Indiana University, Knott and archivist Carrie Schwier launched an archive and invited volunteers from Monroe County residents and those affiliated with the university to submit diaries, but such projects have been popping up all over the country. Local historical societies, universities and libraries have spent the past year archiving the highs and the lows of the pandemic, racial justice marches, impeachment, and other defining events. These archives take the form of objects, photographs, and diaries selected by the community.
