CANYON, Texas— As we struggle to navigate these unprecedented events, the Panhandle community now have the opportunity to ensure that future generations understand our COVID-19 experiences. The Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum is asking you to submit your experience as part of our Collecting COVID-19 Experiences project.

PPHM has set up a page on their website encouraging Panhandle residents to submit written, photographic or video accounts of your thoughts and experiences during the pandemic. These could be essays, journals, or other narratives, describing your day-to-day activities, your reaction to local and national events, and your thoughts on the future. The museum welcomes anything that demonstrates the changes imposed on our lives.

Digital files in a variety of formats may be submitted using our website panhandleplains.org and clicking on the COVID-19 banner. If you have a very large file, please email sprice@pphm.wtamu.edu for help in sending this to our Archives.

Physical material may be mailed to:

Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum Research Center

WTAMU Box 60967

Canyon, TX 79016
