Announcing “Documenting COVID-19: Stony Brook University Experiences” – A New Digital Collection

Posted on by Kristen Nyitray

Stony Brook University Libraries is pleased to announce the release of its new digital collection “Documenting COVID-19: Stony Brook University Experiences.” Browse the collection and read personal written narratives, listen to oral histories, and view photographs that document life during the COVID-19 pandemic from the unique perspectives of our own Stony Brook University community members. 

“Documenting COVID-19: Stony Brook University Experiences” is an ongoing project. The University Libraries continues to accept submissions. Participation is vital to ensure an inclusive record of the SBU experience is available for future generations of researchers. 

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

There are several ways to contribute to the project including by submitting a personal story, volunteering to be interviewed, and donating digital images. To learn more, please visit the project webpage for “Documenting COVID-19: Stony Brook University Experiences.”
