A new view of the world around us.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to change. At first, we are aware of the new rules that dictate different behavior. But after a time, they become the new normal.
You are not alone in navigating the pandemic and together we can figure out what changes we need to make to adjust to the pandemic. As a collecting museum, we believe collecting information to better understand as many aspects of the situation is a good place to start.
Help us capture these moments. Share with us what you are seeing and the changes that you think tells the story of this time. You are seeing what other people cannot see and that is valuable to understanding the effect of the pandemic. No doubt that the photographs we collect will help us in time to examine the circumstances that shape our future community.
Share your photographs with us by emailing them to the museum at info@wimuseum.org. Or use our online submission page. Post them on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter with the #wimuseum and #COVIDMemory. Prefer texting, send them to 309.837.2613.
Here are a few we have collected so far. Thank you! As your community museum, we want to hear from you.
