Since March, over 150 archivists, faculty, staff, students, teachers, and public history practitioners and organizations have been working together on an international COVID-19 digital archive called A Journal of the Plague Year (JOTPY). As of August 2020, we have over 8,000 crowdsourced objects in our archive, and we anticipated accelerated growth this fall as K-20 instructors use the archive in their classrooms, many with modules we’ve created. This roundtable offers transparency about our process and decision-making and creates the opportunity for open peer-review.
