24 February 5:30pm GMT
Andrea Hadley-Johnson & Simon Brown (National Justice Museum) and Imogen Clarke and Stewart Emmens (Science Museum)

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to impact our lives in many ways. Over two seminars the Public History Seminar will look at the ways museum have been recording and collecting this moment in our history. The first will look at how the National Justice Museum in Nottingham and the Science Museum in London have worked with communities and individuals to record experiences of the pandemic. During a time when we must be physically distanced, we’ll explore how these institutions approached the question of what should be recorded and the methods they used to do it.
