2. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting people the world over. This is an historical event, and we want to ensure that the Windsor Community’s experience during this time is recorded and preserved in the Town of Windsor Museums’ collection. We don’t just collect old things; we collect new things, too, and you can help preserve the present for future generations!
4. Just like we are interested in learning about how Windsor coped during the 1918 flu pandemic, people in the future will wonder about the Town’s experiences during the COVID-19 outbreak.
   
   We want to hear your stories about:
   
   • How have your daily lives and routines changed?
   • Are you or is someone in your household an essential worker? What is that like?
   • How do you occupy your time and remain social while staying at home?
   • Has you or someone you know made a difference in the community?
   • How have all of the closures and cancellations impacted you?
   • What have you learned about yourself and/or your neighbors/community during this experience?

36. We are also interested in physical artifacts that represent your experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please consider setting items aside for when the Town of Windsor Museums reopen so that we might add them to our collection. Here are examples of artifacts that we would like to collect:
    
    • homemade face masks
    • diaries, journals, letters
    • signs posting park closures, "do not gather" notices, or other social distancing directives
    • direct mail pieces related to COVID-19
    • objects made at home during the stay at home order that tell an interesting story
