How to make sense of university life in Covid times

Not just pretty pictures, archives are the memory of our times. Through them we explore the past and present to look forward to the future. In this webinar, Julia Horne speaks with archivists and librarians about three special Covid projects with a sneak preview of what each has collected and why these collections are so important.

• Jennifer Stanton, University Library on the University of Sydney Covid-19 cultural collection.
• Richard Neville, Mitchell Librarian, on the State Library of New South Wales’ Covid-19 collecting drive.
