Tell us what life has been like in your bubble.
The Nelson Provincial Museum and Nelson Public Libraries are encouraging people in our region to record their experiences of life during the COVID-19 alert levels.
The project is about reflecting the different ways the virus has impacted our community. The Museum has already identified and contacted a cross-section of people in the region for records, while Nelson Public Libraries, in partnership with the Museum, has launched Life in the Bubble, to extend this gathering of information to the wider public.
It is important to capture the experiences had by people of all ages and children are invited to share their experiences too, here are a few ways they can get started.
You can share a story through the library website or get in touch with the Library if you would prefer to talk about your experience with someone.
Sometimes a story isn’t enough, so the Museum is also accepting donations, in physical or digital forms, of poetry, art, journals, oral histories, video, photographs, objects and craft relating to COVID-19. If you have something you would like to donate, contact the Museum on enquiries@museumnp.org.nz.
Some of the stories gathered may be included in the Museum’s Regional Heritage Collection, to help give a deeper understanding of this extraordinary time in our region’s history.
