For National Library Week, IC Library is offering a workshop to create written memories of living, working, teaching and learning during the pandemic. After writing, participants can deposit their piece in the library’s COVID-19 History Archive. The purpose of this Archive is to gather personal stories about how the pandemic affected members of the Ithaca College community.
DATE: Friday, April 9th
TIME: 2-3 pm EST

Agenda:
Learn how to create an account to submit your memory into the archive. While we will focus on written memories for this workshop, the community can deposit photographs and audio-visual recordings in a variety of formats. The Archivist may also accept artifacts
We’ll spend a half an hour writing together. Finished writing can be submitted immediately or deposited in the future.
Note: We are not able to accept Zoom or other recordings of classes or medical information. The College Archivist will determine the suitability of your submission for this collection. You will be notified within a few days of the decision. If you would prefer to submit a piece in an analog format (ex. a print out) to the archives, email it to archives@ithaca.edu to arrange a deposit.
