How will COVID-19 be remembered? A joint COVID-19 collection drive by the National Library Board (NLB) and the National Museum of Singapore (NMS) from 22 May to 31 December 2020 is calling for individuals, communities and organisations to contribute materials that document experiences of the pandemic in Singapore. This project aims to capture a fuller picture of life during these times, add to the nation’s history and archives, and enrich future generations’ understanding of this extraordinary period.
Share with us videos, audio recordings, photographs, flyers, and even blogs or journals that best document your stories of daily life during the pandemic, or of our everyday heroes such as medical professionals and volunteers, workers in essential services, frontline staff, teachers and others.
With these public contributions, NLB and NMS will explore possibilities of presenting the collection in the future. Please see contribution details below:
