We need your help! The State Historical Society is documenting how Missourians are experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please consider submitting your story, journal, poetry, artwork, photos, and video to SHSMO’s online portal so future historians, students, and other researchers will better understand this historic moment. How has the pandemic affected your life? Your job? Your school and community?
The Documenting COVID-19 in Missouri Collection will relate the experiences and observations of Missourians who are in self-isolation, working essential jobs, working from home or may have lost their job because of the pandemic.

SHSMO would like to hear from those who are willing to share their personal medical experiences during this time. We want to include stories on how families are dealing with homeschooling or teaching online and how Missourians are coping with the loss of many important and everyday activities in their lives.
Digital materials can be submitted online in a variety of formats. Writing prompts are available on the website if you need ideas on how your story can contribute to the collection.

A physical mailing address is also listed for those with items they prefer to mail rather than send through the online portal.
Contributors to the COVID-19 collection may remain anonymous or include their name with the material donated. They may request that their donated material be restricted from public access until a later date. Both adults and children (with parent or guardian consent) are encouraged to submit their story.
Stay well and thank you for considering our request to help document this worldwide pandemic. As we are all learning more about the Spanish flu from 100 years ago, we hope the history we are collecting today will be a portal into how Missourians came together to keep our communities safe in 2020.

My poetry contribution:
Covid has been killing the masses.
Smart folk say "wear masks to clean gasses."
But that orange guy (impeach!)
would have us drink bleach,
and shove bright flashlights up our asses.
I'm glad they are collecting info directly from citizens. I was interviewed by a state historical society employee after the tornado, and he was an incompetent boob who spent the interview hour talking about his office shelving system. WTF?!?
