One year later...COVID-19 and the UConn Nation - Alumni Journal
Archives & Special Collections (ASC) continues to be interested in documenting the wide range of reactions, experiences, and activities undertaken by members of the UConn Nation as we adjusted, struggled and settled into living through the challenges of a world-wide pandemic.

Archived news and internet sites will be excellent primary sources for future historians studying the pandemic. It is well documented, however, that the day-to-day, mundane, social, and emotional experiences of people can get lost if not collected and preserved while memories, experiences and reactions are fresh.

ASC is reaching out to the UConn community–students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, and other UConn community members–to share your stories, in whatever form you wish, to be collected, preserved for posterity, and made accessible for research and study in Archives & Special Collections’ UConn COVID-19 Collection.
