The word ‘unprecedented’ has become a by-word for the coronavirus pandemic of 2020. Fast-evolving, it has up-ended lives around the world.
To capture this experience in words, images, and all manner of expressions for future researchers, as well as generate discussion now on how to process this event, University of Plymouth History students are collecting a diverse range of stories from their own communities: care homes, the NHS, mobile hair-dressers, family members, tattoo artists, to mention a few.
Once processed, we will add these to the innovative international digital archive, the ‘Journal of the Pandemic Year: An Archive of COVID-19’, where together, we can help to narrate our shared global experience of the Pandemic.
