Abstract

Abstract This article provides an overview of how public historians and other actors collect material on the global COVID-19 pandemic. Their common goal is to archive a diversity of perspectives to document these historic times. Focusing on initiatives that collect from a broader public and that incorporate some sort of crowdsourcing, I distinguish between two approaches: projects that collect something specific and projects that formulate their call more openly. The article discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, what opportunities they open up, and what limits they impose on future research on the pandemic. The 10 selected case studies are based in 10 different countries, represent the variety of institutions that are involved in participatory collecting, and have all published their collections online and are thus useful for teaching and research worldwide.
众包新冠肺炎系列:简介
本文概述了公共历史学家和其他参与者如何收集有关全球COVID-19大流行的材料。他们的共同目标是将不同的观点存档,以记录这些历史时期。专注于从更广泛的公众中收集并结合某种形式的众包的倡议,我区分了两种方法:收集特定内容的项目和更公开地表达其呼吁的项目。本文讨论了每种方法的优点和缺点,它们开辟了什么机会,以及它们对未来的流行病研究施加了什么限制。这10个选定的案例研究来自10个不同的国家,代表了参与参与式收集的各种机构,并且都在网上发布了它们的藏品,因此对全世界的教学和研究都很有用。
