We are pleased to announce the launch of our newest online exhibition, “Collecting COVID-19: Experiences of the pandemic in the East Riding,” showcasing the diverse and shared experiences of individuals and communities from across the county.
In collaboration with East Riding residents who have contributed their recorded experiences to the archives for posterity, the exhibition presents a thought-provoking selection of stories that document the unprecedented times we have collectively faced.
Since 2020, we have been collecting the East Riding communities’ experiences of the pandemic for permanent preservation in the Archives. This exhibition presents a selection of those stories told using lockdown diaries, photographs, poetry, and even video games, sharing some of the challenges, resilience, and creativity that emerged during the pandemic.
