COVID-19: Add to the Archives

Lafayette College Special Collections and College Archives is documenting the historic impact of COVID-19 on the Lafayette community. We’re asking our alumni, current students, faculty, and staff to consider documenting their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic to add to College Archives.

What to submit?

Submissions should detail how the coronavirus has impacted your perspective on life, education, and the world.

  • How have you adjusted to changes in your academic and social life?
  • Consider keeping a journal that could be transferred to College Archives in the fall semester.
  • If you are working on a project related to the epidemic, please reach out to discuss how this work might be preserved for the future.

    • Add to the archive by sharing items that tell your story.
