As an individual, you will contribute 6 items. As a group or an individual, you will create 1 exhibit.
Contribution Checklist:
Submit these items via the JOTPY archive submission form. Be sure to Proofread before submitting. I recommend planning these items in a word/google doc so that you have the text saved in case anything goes wrong in the submission process.
- Two of these items must include oral histories (audio or video).
- Each must be at least 10 minutes.
- Each one must include a proofread/edited transcript (I recommend using Otter.ai to produce a transcript draft). You MUST edit this so that it's a clean transcript.
- You can record these with zoom or if you're in the same place as your interviewee, you can record this as an audio or video file with your phone.
- These should include an audio or video file as well as a .txt and .pdf copy of your transcript
- Please also have your interviewee fill out this consent form.
- All items must include thorough, careful metadata as best as you can provide.
- You may include most any type of artifact that reflects upon what life is like for students, staff, faculty or other members of the St. Mary's community during 2020-2021. Remember that this is broadly defined — this can also include things like your family life, work, or non-school specific ideas.
Exhibit:
You will then (as an individual or a group) curate an exhibit with a selection of the items you added. You might think ahead of time to ensure that you have enough items that fit together. You can see example exhibits here: https://covid-19archive.org/s/archive/page/coveryourfangs

Important Notes
Make sure to remove or black out personal information like email addresses that you might not widely available on the internet. If you'd like to include an email, you might take a screenshot of the email instead of saving it as a PDF where your email address is exposed.
Tips:
- Tags: don't actually have to be one word, lowercase unless proper nouns, only use a hashtag if it's a common hashtag; always include #coveryourfangs and HS3390
- Type of Item: should just be a single word or phrase (e.g. still image or photograph, oral history, screenshot). Further description can go in the description area.
- Description: Don't be afraid to make this personal - explain why this is important to you. Describe the item but tell your story too! What's the significance of this? Make sure to give background context - how did things used to be? This should be at least a paragraph
- Creator: Don't use titles - just use the name when possible
- Location: Don't include home addresses - use public locations like campus, businesses, or San Antonio city center
