What is the NJCU COVID-19 Archive?

The COVID-19 Archive is an exhibit, an archive, a research project, and an ongoing documentation of a community response to the pandemic and its impact on our everyday life. Since spring of 2020 our community at NJCU has engaged in creating an archive of a difficult and historic time that includes our individual and collective response to the pandemic. Starting in 2020, our community has expanded the effort to conduct interviews and research, assemble photo documentations, write essays, and create illustrations to tell our stories of this challenging time.

This archive is solely created by members of the NJCU community and those who are connected to us.
