COVID-19 Special Collection: Documenting the MSU Experience

Permanent URI for this communityhttps://scholarworks.montana.edu/handle/1/16009

The COVID-19 pandemic universally upended daily life beginning in March 2020 in both expected and unexpected ways. Members of the Montana State University (MSU) community reacted and adapted as needed in our personal, professional, and scholastic lives. MSU Library’s Archives and Special Collections documented this new reality by soliciting written reflections and other records of life during the 2020 pandemic from MSU students, staff, and faculty. The materials in this collection represent the range of the MSU community’s response to the pandemic, from the very personal to the administrative. The bulk of the collection consists of student responses to COVID-19 related assignments in courses across disciplines beginning in Spring 2020. Together these records constitute an archive of lived experiences during this time.

    We are living in a unique historic moment and it seemed to me that some of you might want to create your own historic record of your experiences. Having just read Matilda Rabinowitz’s memoir with her granddaughter’s commentary & illustrations, you have one model of what a personal record addressing larger historical themes might be like. But there are many ways you can go about this. Some of you may already be keeping a journal and you can use it—or parts of it—for this project.
