Introduction
We are leading a project to document the response and experience of the LSE community during the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to capture how we've all worked, lived and socialised since early 2020 and create an archive of material for the future.
Why should I contribute?
Our archives and special collections are an important source of information, and your submission could help researchers of the future understand what life at LSE was like during the pandemic. By contributing, you'll be helping to build a shared memory and a future research resource.
All contributions are welcome
We hope to receive submissions that are as varied and diverse as our community so that all parts of the LSE community are represented in the archive.
Please provide us with multimedia content – primarily photographs, but you can share other material – that reflects your own experiences of the pandemic.

What will happen to my contribution?
