Museum begins COVID-19 collection

The Wake Forest Historical Museum is preserving stories about how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting Wake Forest residents.

The museum is collecting items that document people’s experiences learning remotely, working at home or on the frontlines, social distancing, staying in touch with friends and family, self-quarantining, or dealing with illness. The museum wants to hear from our whole community, including essential workers, those working from home, and those who have lost their jobs. Every story will help us better understand how COVID-19 continues to affect our community.

Please consider submitting essays, photographs, audio and video recordings, and other items that document daily life or describe – in your own words – what you are feeling and experiencing in this moment.

You can submit items online through a simple form or by mail; please see our website for more information on how to submit materials. These primary sources are central to our understanding of this historic time, and we hope you join us in this effort.

The Wake Forest Historical Museum is at 414 North Main Street, PO Box 494, Wake Forest, NC 27587. The telephone is 919-556-2911.
