The NYUAD COVID-19 Archive
Please consider donating materials that document what daily life has been like at NYUAD during the COVID-19 pandemic — both broadly and personally defined.
We are interested in receiving items and stories that document the community’s experiences learning and working remotely, social and physical distancing, communicating and staying in touch with family, quarantining, and any other experiences that you want to share. Materials will be brought together into an NYUAD COVID-19 Archive, preserved as part of the University Archives in the Library.
- Artifacts and objects
- Signs or artwork
- Audio recordings
- Journal entries (written, audio, or video)
- Blog posts
- Photographs of home or workspaces or other community scenes
- Captures of classroom work, school schedules, or daily routines
- Poetry
- Screenshots of your social media posts
- Stories and oral histories
Complete the Form, Authorize, and Submit Your Items for the Archive
