Documenting COVID-19 Project
The Jewish Historical Society of New Jersey is launching a project to encourage the public to document their personal experiences during this significant and unique period and contribute them to the Archives for preservation and future research use.
We are collecting diary entries, social media posts, newsletters from your organization, emails, photographs, videos, audio recordings, announcements, banners and other documentation of how our Greater MetroWest community has been affected.
The JHS of NJ has created a special webpage with essential information about the Documenting COVID-19 Project which can be found here
See yourself as a chronicler of history by contributing to this project.
Stay safe and well!
