18.01.2022 As we prepare ourselves for lockdown, this project from the Melbourne History Workshop is a great way to not only document your own feelings/situation, but also... contribute to documenting periods of extreme social upheaval. When we went to take a look in our own archives for documents or ephemera relating to the Influenza Pandemic on 1918-19, we were shocked at how little material we had. Projects like this can help ensure future generations understand the impact of worldwide pandemics. "Join the Melbourne History Workshop in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, University of Melbourne in documenting these challenging times in Melbourne and around the globe. We are working with Mark Tebeau from Arizona State University and others by acting not just as historians, but as chroniclers, recorders, memoirists, as image collectors. We invite you to share your experience and impressions of how CoVid19 has affected our lives, from the mundane to the extraordinary, including the ways things haven't changed at all. Share your story in text, images, video, tweets, texts, Facebook posts, Instagram or Snapchat memes, and screenshots of the news and emails--anything that speaks to paradoxes of the moment. Imagine, as we are, what future historians might need to write about and understand this historical moment." https://covid19.omeka.net/mhw
