"Invitation: Submit to the Pandemic Archive Project

What would you want future generations to know about living during the COVID-19 pandemic? The Humanities, Arts and Public Health Practice at Yale (HAPPY) Initiative invites individuals around the world to participate in the new Pandemic Archive Project, a multidisciplinary archive documenting the experiences of living during COVID-19.


This pandemic may be the public health event of the century. Its impact touches us all, from young to old, from all parts of the world, from the healthy to the sick. Please join us in building an archive of the human experiences of this moment. Submissions will be posted publicly on our website, and archived for future generations of students and scholars.

Submit a piece of your writing, art, video, music, or a list of the books you’re reading, the things you’re listening to, the places you’re finding hope, or just a list of the contents of your thoughts, days, time. Submissions can be long or short, informal or formal, any format you like, and will be posted on our still-in-progress website and archived for the future at the Yale Library.

To participate, visit https://publichealth.yale.edu/practice/students/happy/archive/
Or for further information, email Program Manager Taiga Christie at Taiga.christie@yale.edu"
