Around Brooklyn: Brooklyn Historical Society seeks material on pandemic
Brooklyn Historical Society seeks material on pandemic
The Brooklyn Historical Society is asking Brooklynites to submit materials related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including photos, videos and writings. “We wanted to do this project … to document the tremendous impact of COVID-19 on our daily life in Brooklyn,” Maggie Schreiner, the society’s manager of archives and special collections, said. So far the Historical Society has received about 300 submissions, which include photos of life during the pandemic, such as people wearing masks, children learning remotely and people performing do-it-yourself haircuts, according to the Brooklyn Paper.
