Since January of 2020, NIH has been on the forefront of researching, combating, and providing information about COVID-19 that first emerged in late 2019. For most all of us at NIH, the virus has impacted us our lives in many several ways including how we are able to many of us perform our jobs. The NIH Office of History and Stetten Museum is launching a campus-wide initiative to encourage NIH government employees, contractors, and volunteers to submit documentation about their professional and personal experiences during the COVID-19 outbreak. While official records will be preserved according to federal regulations, there are no such provisions in place to ensure that personal reactions will be captured that give a more collective account about NIH and its response to the virus. Your contribution will be the primary source material future historians will use to understand how NIH fared and adapted at this critical time. Please take the time ti tell your story!
