Journal of a Plague Semester

Description (Dublin Core)

On March 13, 2020, at 3:55PM, Catherine O'Donnell asked the question that generated Journal of a Plague Year. Within 5 minutes, Mark Tebeau & Richard Amesbury replied, and we were on zoom within 10 minutes. Within the next hour, Mark Tebeau had registered with Omeka.net and implemented the first iteration of Journal of a Plague Year, using Omeka Classic via the hosted Omeka site (at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media.).

Even though we all recognized the importance of the moment, the title reveals how ephemeral she thought it might be.

Email Body (Omeka Classic)

Dear Mark and Richard,
This is likely frivolous amidst everything going on, but I wanted to put you two in touch, in case there's a way public history can facilitate the creation -- or students' creation -- of a repository of this strange time. Students would be acting less as historians, admittedly, than as chroniclers, recorders, memoirists, image collectors...but collecting materials (including screenshots and that sort of thing) that they think a future historian would want, is thinking like an historian. And if we did create a repository, it could be a source for a number of future projects, including perhaps for people in other disciplines. Again, we're all busy just getting through the day, and it's possible this sort of thing should just occur ad hoc, at the level of courses. But I thought I'd throw that in the air, in case Mark and public history might provide a framework.
Best,
Catherine
