Because of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic we are currently experiencing, life as we know it has temporarily changed. You may not realize it, but we are living through a historic event that will lead to curiosity and research years from now. There is uncertainty for those of us who have never witnessed such an occurrence. However, it often helps to write and share our experience, resulting in historical evidence. Journals and letters are one way to document history and share our unique perspective. Get ready to think, observe, and write. Your writing will benefit not only you, but also the museums and libraries that are currently seeking COVID-19 primary sources during this unprecedented time in our lives.
