On May 22, the Mission Community Archives and the Mission Museum are launching their “Life at Two Metres” Project – a community-wide endeavour to collect documentation of the personal first-hand experiences of local residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The project will help preserve Mission’s story for future generations.
Items to be collected include: artwork, such as drawings and collages; audio recordings; digital writings such as blog posts and journal entries; photographs; poetry; screenshots of social media posts; stories and oral histories; and three-dimensional objects.
A landing page about the initiative and contact information for digital content and physical donations can be accessed on each institution’s website:
