COVID-19 Digital Archive

The COVID-19 virus is a global pandemic that will have massive impacts on Western Australia, as it will the world. The Museum of Perth invites the West Australian community to join us in collecting a digital archive that chronicles the Coronavirus in our state. 

We are currently living through one of the most testing times many of us will ever face. Stories of heartbreak, hope, devastation and resilience will be common-place.

The Museum of Perth will, over the coming months and years, work to chronicle the impact of COVID-19 on our community, and we need your help to do it.

Please submit your stories, experiences, photographs, recordings, videos or social media posts with us to contribute to our COVID-19 collection.

Stories may reveal the shock felt as the outbreak starts, stocking up on supplies, catching up with friends and families, Street scenes, social media posts, audio or video recordings or any other medium. 

We understand that some stories may be heart-warming and light-hearted but others may be personal and heartbreaking. We will respect your privacy if requested. The Museum asks that you identify the suburb in which you live and that you provide us your name and contact details, which we will not publish unless you give us the permission to do so.

Follow our Facebook page to see submissions as they’re published.
