24.01.2022 COVID-19 DIGITAL ARCHIVE www.museumofperth.com.au/covid19 Today the Museum of Perth launches our COVID-19 Digital Archive. In these unprecedented and historic times we are calling on all West Australians to share their photographs, stories, video and audio files with us.... The COVID-19 virus is a global pandemic that will have massive impacts on Western Australia, as it will the world. The Museum of Perth invites the West Australian community to join us in collecting a digital archive that chronicles the Coronavirus right across our state. Stories may reveal the shock felt as the outbreak starts, stocking up on supplies, catching up with friends and families, Street scenes, social media posts, audio or video recordings or any other medium. We understand that some stories may be heart-warming and light-hearted but others may be personal and heartbreaking. We will respect your privacy if requested. The Museum asks that you identify the suburb in which you live and that you provide us your name and contact details, which we will not publish unless you give us the permission to do so. This is a rare chance to document the lives of ordinary and extraordinary West Australians as this pandemic unfolds. We may, in the future, partner with other institutions across the globe who are also collecting similar documentation. Make a submission: www.museumofperth.com.au/covid19
