Visions of 2020: Stories of Our Times, from COVID-19 to Racial Injustice
This guide presents a way for the Rosemont community to submit their reactions, thoughts, and expressions of their experiences during the year 2020 for preservation in the Rosemont College Archives.
This documentation project is open to Rosemont students, faculty, staff, and alumni/ae. If you are not a member of the Rosemont community, we would be happy to help you locate one of the many other projects documenting COVID-19 experiences.
You must be 18 years of age or older to submit material.
We accept digital submissions only at this time. Physical items may be accepted at a later date.
Submissions will be available for research, and, in some cases, made available online. Please do not include any information—including identifying details about yourself or your friends and family—that you do not want to share publicly.
Do not submit any medical records about anyone—such as doctor’s notes, patient charts, or insurance records. You may choose to submit information about your own health experiences, but do not submit any personally identifiable health information about other people, including family members (ex: disclosing health conditions, diagnoses or treatments).
Follow all social distancing guidelines and other safety measures while self-documenting.
Rosemont College is not obligated to include your content in this project or to preserve it in perpetuity. We may decline, temporarily close, or redact submissions based on our collecting policy and legal and ethical concerns. (Redacting would mean permanently removing details, full sentences, or other content from a collection and making clear to researchers that we have done so.)
Accepted submissions will be deposited in the Rosemont Archives' digital collections and made available for public research use.
Please use this Google Form to upload your submissions.
