Share Your Covid Stories

Covid-19 American History Project

Every person in the United States has been impacted, and many are still affected, by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress is partnering with StoryCorps to tell a more diverse and holistic story of the pandemic as told by the people who lived through it. You’re invited to take part! The Center invites everyone to share their experiences, especially frontline workers, medical professionals, and emergency service workers.

This initiative is part of the COVID-19 American History Project, a Congressionally funded program to collect, preserve, and make available an archive of American COVID-19 stories. To learn more about the Project, click here.
