Reflections on 2020

We want to record the reality of life in the pandemic, and to reflect on how it has affected us all. So paint us a picture, write us a story, record us a video. All too often history is a record of the rich and the powerful. We’re making a record of how life was this year for real people.

The Workers’ Stories Project has been the only Scottish attempt to record the transformation of social life during COVID-19 from a working-class perspective.

Now we need your help to continue archiving and sharing the experiences of Scottish workers during the pandemic.
Help us raise £3000 to create a website and a touring exhibition.

Your donations will allow us to make a permanent online home for the work we have collected and produce a touring exhibition after the pandemic to provide a space to share and reflect on workers’ stories of Covid-19.
