Sheffield Libraries Need your Help to Create a Covid 19 Archive

Sheffield Libraries Need your Help to Create a Covid 19 Archive

As with all significant events in history, the Coronavirus pandemic will be recorded in official documents.

But what about our own personal experiences in Sheffield?

The documents that are always of most interest to historians and researchers are the voices of ordinary people.

That’s why Sheffield Libraries are encouraging you to record your experiences of these times as they happen. They have already been offered a number of Covid-19 diaries and photographs but they would really like more.

“Everyone’s experience is relevant” says Sheffield Libraries “We’d like you to record how you are being affected – family life, work, school, shopping, neighbourhood support networks, exercise etc. Everyone can take part. Young and old; schoolchildren and adults; workers and stay at homers.

Once life gets ‘back to normal’ you can submit your contributions to Sheffield City Archives by emailing archives@sheffield.gov.uk

Read more about how to get involved and the guidelines you should follow if you want to submit your own experiences at the Sheffield Libraries Blog.=

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
