We are creating an archive of staff and student experiences of University life during the COVID-19 pandemic for future generations of researchers, and we need your help!
This material, both digital and physical, will be stored in the University Library’s Special Collections & Archives, accompanying records of the University’s official response to the crisis, which are currently being collected.

We are encouraging a range of honest and personal reflections. Submissions are welcomed in a variety of formats, including but not limited to:
Accepted digital file formats may include DOCX, PDF, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, WAV, MP3, MP4, .MOV.
After the submission deadline (to be announced), SCA will host an online exhibition showcasing some of the material and will invite selected students to participate in its interpretation and promotion.
Longer term, the material will be catalogued and made available to all interested researchers via the Special Collections & Archives service.
