SHARE YOUR STORIES

The Columbus Historical Society wants to document and preserve the Central Ohio community’s experiences, thoughts, photos, videos and stories on the current COVID-19 health pandemic. It is an important and highly unusual part of our history. The materials obtained will be added to our archives and be available for research by future historians and the public.

CHS COVID-19 youth input request.

We encourage input from community members of all ages, especially our youth. We will accept written letters, journals, stories, drawings, photos, videos, etc. 

By submitting material, you accept the terms allowing the Columbus Historical Society to use the materials for appropriate historical programming including research, exhibits and publications.

Natalie Long of LONG Creations has created a COVID-19 Time Capsule with activities for children that will help them express themselves during this difficult time. This time capsule is a great way to share your story and can be downloaded for free here. CHS will be accepting digital copies of completed time capsules or completed COVID-19 activity pages.
