Life in Hatfield During Covid-19
Help document this historic time
by contributing to a primary source archive.
What is life like for YOU?
Whether it be journal entries, essays, photos, artwork, poems, video clips, audio interviews, songs, music – if it’s something you’ve created or saved as a record of this crisis, please consider sharing it with us, for posting on our digital sites or saving in an archive for future generations.
Stories, poems and more
We want to help future generations understand what life was like during this extraordinary time. What are you writing in response to Covid-19, and how our lives have been affected?

Visual arts
What art are you producing in response to the current pandemic? Email us an image of you creating and/or of your artwork or photo and tell us briefly what the work represents for you during this time.

Audio or video clips
Record yourself or a family member describing what life is like now. Some phones and computers have built-in voice recorders (like the Voice Memos app on an iPhone), or you can download a free voice recorder app, like Titanium Recorder. Or have a friend "interview" you on Zoom, and record the call.
Audio clips should be mp3 format, but .wav is OK too. Video clips should be no longer than 3 minutes, in either mp4 or .MOV formats. |
To participate, you must live or work or go to school in Hatfield, MA
