Pandemic Journaling Project helps answer key questions from COVID-19
As Americans reflect on four years since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, some people are thinking about the future. Several weeks ago, Spectrum News 1 first reported about the Pandemic Journaling Project, a database of experiences during COVID-19 now posted on a Syracuse University archive. For the next 25 years, the data is only available to researchers, helping them answer questions about life during the pandemic.
“It's a particular person's perspective, but it's all of them brought together that can give us broader insights into what this meant, how we made sense of this," said Amy Fairchild, a historian and professor at Syracuse University.
