During our planning phase, we were inspired by @ManMedMuseum display's of oral histories alongside their medical collection in the 'Instruments of Change' exhibition as we believe it injects a empathetic touch to a subject that could appear cold and impersonal

Did you know that mask wearing was encouraged during the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic? Some places in the USA even made them compulsory. In this family, even the cat was getting involved!

[The New Normal?: Voices of the COVID-19 Pandemic @newnormalvoices]

Thank you so much for taking the time to come in and talk to us. We're very excited to put what we've learnt into practice!
