This digital collection was created as part of the "Documenting the CSUSB COVID-19 Experience" project that worked to capture the stories and experiences of CSUSB faculty, staff, and students during COVID-19 along with the University’s official response to the pandemic through campus-wide communications. The collection includes diaries, videos, oral histories, poems, artwork, university-issued statements, and other materials that were gathered while the campus was operating primarily in an online modality from March 2020 through July 2021.
This digital resource was developed to provide insight on how the CSUSB community persevered through the COVID-19 pandemic in an effort to support future research pathways that explore this historically significant time.
This project and resulting digital collection was an initiative of the Arthur E. Nelson University Archives. Please direct any questions/comments you may have to the University Archivist, Eric Milenkiewicz at .
