Chronicles of COVID-19. Cork Folklore Project

Chronicles of COVID-19
Cork Folklore Project
press release


We hope you are all safe and well in these strange times, and are getting in contact with an invitation to be part of a people’s chronicle of life at this moment in history.

Life is changing rapidly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in Ireland and worldwide. Our experiences are important to document for the future, and the Cork Folklore Projecthas launched an innovation to do just that. We invite you to become part of this project by adding your voice to our ‘Chronicles of COVID-19’ archival collection.

Social media posts don’t last forever, newspapers are focused on certain aspects of the crisis, but where will the experiences of ordinary people be documented as a long-term record of life in these times?  We are interested in your accounts of how everyday life is changing, your stories and your observations, for our community-based archive. 

How can you contribute? You can fill out some or all of our ‘Chronicles of COVID-19’ questionnaire at Chronicles of COVID-19  The first phase closes on Monday 20 April, and we will have follow-up phases. The questionnaire will take approx. 15 minutes to complete, depending on how much detail you want to provide. 

If you wish to share photos and/or written or audio accounts, just contact us at covid19chronicles@corkfolklore.org, and we’ll arrange for you to deposit them with us.  Keep an eye on our Facebook page, and of course, please share this invitation far and wide.

If you have any questions, just drop us a line at covid19chronicles@corkfolklore.org
