Metropolitan Library System
COVID-19 Diary Submission
The Metropolitan Library System's Special Collection Department can accept COVID-19 Diary submissions at anytime. However, we would encourage you to wait to make a complete submission, whatever timeline makes sense to you. If your diary includes handwritten text or physical drawings and you are unable to send scanned images at this time, please let us know in the "Description of Diary" field below. When libraries reopen we will have in-library scanning opportunities. Many of the fields below are optional, but the more information you share will help us preserve your work and make it accessible and meaningful for future generations.
Thank you for taking the time to share your story with us.
