Newport Historical Society Requests Children’s Help with Writing the History of the Coronavirus
Thursday, May 14, 2020
As part of the Society's mission to preserve Newport’s history for future generations, the organization is looking to create a snapshot of this moment from the perspective of those often underrepresented in the historical record: Children.
The Newport Historical Society has created a Covid-19 Diary for Children. This diary is aimed at children in kindergarten to fourth grade. Parents or children can fill out the pdf form or google form found on the website, or compile their answers and send them to Archivist Kaela Bleho at [email protected].
"Don’t forget to attach a drawing or selfie! Parents of children learning to write can help their kids by recording responses on their behalf," said the Society.
