California State Library: California COVID Diaries Project - ONGOING
The California State Library is working with local libraries to collect COVID-19 stories from across the state. Californians of all ages have responded by sending in original essays, poems, photographs, videos and works of art. The content on this website represents only a portion of the hundreds that have been submitted and was selected to showcase the variety of experiences around the state.
If you have writing, artwork, a photo or other documentation of your COVID-19 experience and would like to help record California’s response to this pandemic for future generations, please send it using this link. They are accepting everything from artwork and creative writing to diary entries and email correspondence.
