Communications from East Carolina University, Pitt County, and The United states regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic.


Biographical/historical information

The COVID-19 pandemic hit the United States in February 2020. What started as a two week shelter in place quickly showed to be a much greater issue. At the beginning of the pandemic there was much uncertainty that led to many changes in information. The documents in this collection follow the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic from February 2020 through Summer 2022. This includes community reactions, the creation and distribution of the vaccine, and the policy changes that East Carolina University had in place to best protect students, staff, and faculty.


Scope and arrangement

This collection includes newspapers and magazines printed during the COVID-19 pandemic, both in Eastern North Carolina, and nationally in the United States. These articles discuss the impact COVID-19 had on communities, government involvement, the vaccine, and personal opinions. This collection also includes correspondence on the East Carolina University Campus, through emails.
