Acton's COVID-19 Experience Archives

The Acton Historical Society and the Acton Memorial Library are collaborating on a project to chronicle the effects that the COVID-19 outbreak has had on the daily lives of Acton residents, the members of our Society, and those served by the public library.  Our thoughts go out to all whose lives have been upended.  For those who are in a position to share your stories, we would like to add your memories to our archives so that future generations can better understand this experience from those who are living through it.  The Society would welcome digital and physical items to document the challenges and opportunities you are facing, including:
  • Diaries, letters, journals, and logs
  • Stories on workarounds to cancelled events such as weddings, school, graduations, etc.
  • How you entertained yourselves as you sheltered at home
  • Photos, drawings, paintings, and other artwork
  • Your personal digital content and social media posts

While physical items will remain at the Society, digital records will be shared with and jointly owned by the Memorial Library.  Thank you for your willingness to share your memories.  Please use the form below to submit digitally.  If you would prefer to make submissions of physical items, please email us or call (978) 264-0690.
