History Responds
Description
Building on rapid response collecting methods developed in the wake of September 11, Occupy Wall Street, and the 2017 Women's March, curators at the New-York Historical Society began efforts to collect objects, images, artworks, and ephemera for future research and inclusion in exhibitions. The process to donate materials begins with filling out an inquiry form to share information about the object. Covid-19 material is currently being collected alongside material documenting Black Lives Matter and other protests under the purview of this project. Collecting is geographically focused on New York and the surrounding region.
