Writers Read – Covid Conversations

Oral history interviews with people in Lawrence and Lowell, Massachusetts, who experienced the sickness and pandemic living restrictions of Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021, plus diary excerpts from residents who reported on their daily fears, hopes, and challenges. Produced by the Lawrence History Center and University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML), with contributions from Phillips Academy Andover, this is the first published documentary about the impact of the pandemic in the Merrimack Valley. The interviews offer a useful case study of the effects of Covid-19 in one region.
