The Western Development Museum (WDM) wants people in Saskatchewan to help document the unprecedented novel coronavirus pandemic.
With the WDM’s physical doors closed due to COVID-19, the museum has opened an online, crowd-sourced exhibit called Saskatchewan Views the Global Pandemic. “Right now, we are all eyewitnesses to this major event,” said Diana Savage, exhibits manager with the museum.
Since the portal went live this week, people have submitted images depicting how they’re working from home, celebrating birthdays and more.
A description accompanies each picture to illustrate a person’s lived experience during the pandemic. “We wanted to find ways to build that community and have connections with other people in the province,” Savage
