In March of 2021, the coronavirus pandemic changed all of our lives. Samuel Proctor Oral History Program quickly adapted to continue documenting oral histories for all projects. As the lockdowns were implemented, the new social conditions required the creation of a project that would capture how the pandemic impacted people’s lives. The result is the Pandemic Oral History Project. This page contains links to the various collections of the Pandemic Oral History Project.
