The HS/HSL is collecting stories from the pandemic to preserve a record of UMB’s collective experience for posterity and future research. Since the project’s launch over the summer, there have been five submissions of artwork and written reflections to the archive.

The library is hoping for more submissions to capture the breadth of the UMB community’s experiences during this historical event. Learn more and see the previous submissions.
