The coronarchive is a freely accessible, open online portal that welcomes anyone’s contribution. Its purpose is to collect, archive, contextualize and exhibit personal memories and memorabilia from the time of the coronavirus pandemic. The coronarchive is intended as an accurate snapshot of the present that preserves and illustrates the plurality and diversity of the situation for the future. It enables a retrospective view on the events of the year 2020 and can also be used for future research.
The coronarchive in the press:
The spread of the coronavirus poses major political, social and personal challenges for everyone. But at some point the pandemic will be over. How will the crisis be spoken of, how will the memory be preserved? The digital coronarchive – founded by the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) and the universities of Hamburg and Gießen – and the Körber Stiftung are inviting all children and young people to take part in a competition and document how the corona crisis has changed their everyday lives. All submitted contributions will be transferred to the coronarchive. In addition, the Körber Stiftung will award ten book prizes for the best entries and present the winners and their topics. Children and young people up to the age of 21 can take part. The closing date for entries is 15 May 2020. More information can be found in the presse release [german only] in the RUB news portal.
Information about the campaign and how to participate can be found here.
In January 2020, the third year of the Master's programme in Public History opened the special exhibition “Weibsbilder. Frauen im Ruhrgebiet der 1920er Jahre” [Females.
