Share all your Covid-19 stories

A NEW initiative from Wicklow County Council is setting out to create a ‘people’s archive’ to capture and share your photos, stories and experiences of Wicklow life 2020 and all are invited to participate.

The Covid-19 pandemic has turned the world on its head and with it the daily lives of all, during an unprecedented time in our history.

Whether you are at home ‘cocooning’, remote working , home-schooling your children or providing an essential service to keep society functioning, the ‘ Together Apart: Wicklow 2020 Stories’ would love to record your experiences.

Whether it is queues at your local supermarket, yoga in the kitchen, wildlife in your garden or proud baking achievements, your photographs and first hand observations can really capture the moment and create a powerful record for future generations. Restrictions around funerals have been particularly difficult at this time and the archive would be privileged to publish your tributes to those who have passed.

This project is a joint initiative of Wicklow County Council’s Heritage Office, Archives and Library Service.

People of all ages are invited to participate by sending photographs, stories, drawings poems, sketches, anecdotes, articles and observations. All content received will be archived and shared on the online community heritage website www.heritage.wicklowheritage. org. Direct emails to wicklow2020stories@gmail.com.
