Samantha Sauer, archivist for IC鈥檚 Khalaf Al Habtoor Archives, curator of the Paul Findley Congressional Office Museum and assistant professor of history, will lead the effort and invite community members to 鈥淎rchive your Story.鈥� Anyone with a connection to the College can get involved by sharing journal entries, recordings, writings and other documents to be shared with the historians of tomorrow.

鈥淲e are physically separated from one another during this moment in history,鈥� Sauer said. 鈥淏ut our stories are still connected. Collecting and sharing our campus community's stories during this unprecedented period 鈥� one that impacts us locally and globally 鈥� will bring us together in a significant way.鈥�

The Office of Marketing and Communication will also collaborate by helping share community stories immediately through social media and the College website, which can be later archived.

Public history students will gain hands-on experience documenting a crisis situation as they work remotely to compile records for the archives. Students will also lead an oral history project which will allow contributors to record their stories in their own voice. 

鈥淔or many people, sharing their stories is empowering. It can serve as an opportunity to discover their voice and reflect on their experiences. It鈥檚 also a chance to help shape the historical record of 同性恋色情,鈥� Sauer added.  

Suggested ways to contribute to the project include:

• Compiling journal entries about day-to-day experiences. Whether you are a nurse treating sick patients, a grocery store employee, restaurant owner, student, parent -- the list goes on -- we hope to hear from you. A wide range of experiences will help us create rich resources that illustrate the widespread effect of the pandemic on campus life. 
• Write an essay or other response about your experience. This can take whatever creative form you choose. 
• Take pictures to document your experience. Document your home workspace, take a picture of something that has changed in your life or how you are staying connected or helping others.
