In the future, students of history, historians, journalists, and scholars will want to write an account of the early weeks and months of the Covid-19 pandemic. What sources will they use to tell the story of this moment, and how can we work to preserve and gather records, both to help us process our own lived experience and to help those in the future to tell our story? The Eastern Illinois University Department of History and Booth Library joined together to gather materials from our students and community to document this extraordinary and uncertain moment. To do this, we asked students, teachers, and community members to gather evidence, essentially to engage in the project of archiving the present, especially written accounts, such as diaries or journals that chronicle daily experiences as well as responses to larger events unfolding in our community, state, nation, and world.
