Be a part of history by sharing your pandemic stories with the Guildford Museum
They are looking for photos, artwork, poems and diaries
We are being given the chance to be a part of local history.
The Guildford Museum wants things like diaries, photos, poems and artwork that were specifically produced for Covid-19 to record our experiences from social distancing to working from home.
They can help record a year that has affected everybody through lockdown, from social distancing to home working and homeschooling.
Director of Service Delivery, Ian Doyle says:
“It is just as vital to collect the history of Guildford as it is happening, as it is to record the history of Guildford over the past 1,000 years.
"Covid-19 has impacted our lives personally as well as locally, nationally and globally, with so much changing around us each day.
"We have constantly had to adapt to the new ways of living and the help we have all received across the borough from local companies, charities and volunteers has been amazing.
"Their effort should be celebrated for many years to come. Our Museum has already collected many items, thank you to everyone who has contributed so far.”
