IT’S been a year of unprecedented news and tall tales. Now a new research project is giving you the chance to tell your story.
Clare Wilson, a genealogist and historian with Airdrie-based Treehouse Genealogy, wants to hear from locals about their exploits during the coronavirus pandemic.
Bringing together testimonies as well as images, audio recordings, and newspaper clippings, the Covid Archive Project will aim to tell future generations of the real-lived experiences of the last 16 months.
On completion, the collection will be handed over to a museum and closed for 40 years.
Clare said: “Social History is so important as it tells us about how people lived; what events impacted on their lives.

“I am sure that most of us already have material on our phones or social media accounts already that would make a suitable contribution to the project.”
