Scope and Contents
The Documenting COVID-19 collection (February 2020-May 2021) comprises digital photographs, diaries, artworks, and other materials
that were created and submitted by California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) students, faculty, staff, alumni,
and Southern Los Angeles County community members. The collection reflects their first-hand experiences during the COVID-19
pandemic that started in March 2020. It includes 102 diaries, essays, and letters (.pdf), 17 blog posts (.pdf), 119 digital
photographs (.jpg), 12 videos (.mp4), 1 sound recording (.mp3), 7 artworks (.pdf)(.jpg), 1 poem (pdf), and 3 periodicals (.pdf),
and two boxes of
Daily Breeze newspaper articles as of May 2021.
Diaries were written as assignments for various classes and focused on students' experience with online learning, quarantine
with their family, being an essential worker during the pandemic, as well as other changes to their daily life caused by COVID-19.
Digital photographs depict the changes to local stores, public gathering places, and signage. Many digital photographs show
people wearing masks, social distancing, and the closures of beaches and parks. The videos collected are short clips of what
interactions look like taking place at a distance, CSUDH resilience ambassador messages, a video submitted by the CSUDH Asian
and Pacific Islanders Graduation Committee regarding a virtual graduation celebration, and a video regarding the launch of
a new bachelor's degree in the Asian Pacific Studies department. Blog posts by local community members are about events and
changes that took place during the quarantine. Two periodicals describe local news events. One periodical is a study of CSUDH
students and their stress and wellbeing during quarantine. There is a single sound recording of an interview that took place
with someone who lived in a building where people were not complying with the face mask recommendation. Artwork collected
includes a coloring book created by the Queer Culture and Resource Center, as well as student collages, artwork created for
the CSUDH SLICE newsletter, and a photograph of artwork created by a faculty member in the CSUDH art department.
Biographical / Historical
Coronavirus disease 2019, abbreviated as "COVID-19," was classified as a pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization.
California State University campuses closed and moved to virtual instruction on March 17, 2020. On March 20, 2020 Los Angeles
Mayor Eric Garcetti called for a "safer at home" order, which limited non-essential activities. Since its establishment as
a pandemic, COVID-19 has reached over 60,000,000 cases globally as of November 2020, according to the World Health Organization.
In April 2020, the Gerth Archives and Special Collections at California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) began the
"Documenting COVID-19 in Southern Los Angeles County" project. The purpose of the project was to document the experiences
of CSUDH and Southern Los Angeles County community members during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to provide a way for community
members to share their story. The Gerth Archives and Special Collections called for submissions of photos, videos, diaries,
art, and other digital media that represented daily life during quarantine. The project welcomed submissions about a wide
array of subject matter in the context of COVID-19, including social distancing, the move to online instruction, essential
work, and other changes to life amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

April 20, 2020
Additional Description
From the creator's own words: "A Nurse" and "Protests" were both created on April 20, 2020. "A Nurse" is made from a photo
I took of my older sister Vanessa Olivares, after her shift at a hospital on April 17, 2020. I wanted to represent her selflessness
and duties of a nurse as heroic and godly. "Protests" convey the resist against lock down orders happening in the United States.
In the background you see the struggles of the people who are in the front lines of the pandemic. But overshadowing them is
the President of the United States calling the Corona-virus a hoax, and his followers listening to him instead of the experts.
The weak-minded people who believe an ill-suited individual will find themselves on the dark side of the moon"

General
From the creator's own words: "I mostly spend my time during this pandemic at home with my parents and sisters.My parents
[took] social distancing serious and didn't let me out so much but I complete understood and agree with their decisions. It
was a struggle being home everyday and all since I'm usually out all the time. Although, I struggled be home I got to spend
more time with my parents and sisters and create a stronger bond with them. I got the time and chance to learn new things
like cooking and learning more about make-up. Apart from dealing with stress being at home I had a good time because I got
to be with my family".

From the creators' own words: "Within the QCRC, the Art Collective is used to highlight and honor the various artists within
the community. Various opportunities are available to students, including portfolio and resume building, opportunities to
educate with art, help build visibility on campus through their art, marketing experience through flyers, and staying connected
on campus through events and projects. Art can be anything from making collages, to painting, poetry, music, making flyers,
and fostering queer energy through your content.
The main goal of the Art Collective is to give visibility to those who feel they might not have it. As a community we empower
each other and give students the space and platform to share their art and build their portfolio".

Additional Description
From the creator Christian Valles' own words: "The work photographs I am submitting are documenting the mass panic of Latinx
families stocking up on provisions. The governor recommended a self-quarantine to avoid the spread of Covid-19. Also, during
this time, the CSUDH campus was closed, and classes were transition into online courses.
The photos with young men's "ELL" hoodie was taken in Bell, CA. The store ran out of toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Once
I entered, people were hoarding meat and dairy products.
The photo with a woman with a white jacket was taken in Downtown Long Beach, CA. The woman is my mother making a line to see
if the store has toilet paper. The store security and managers only allowed a handful of people inside. Eventually, it was
our turn to enter the store. A religious woman stood outside to protest against the store and facemask. She believed COVID-19
was part of the rapture. Eventually, she was whisked away by security.
As we entered the store, we were required to wear bags on our feet and our hands. To avoid picking up items and read their
labels or picking items with our bare hands. The store ran out of toilet paper, meat, and dairy products, my Mom and I; ended
up leaving a rice bag. The photo with the bag in my hand is me, waving my hand to the camera.
The last group of photos is me at LAX boarding a flight to Phoenix, AZ. To head back home with my partner, who was working
as a curator assistant in the Phoenix Art Museum. The terminal was empty, and the plane was mostly empty.
I hope these photos help to illustrate the intensity of COVID-19 in 2020".

General
From the creator's own words: "Without the usual gym and roller derby safely available, this nurse and her partner Sonia have
been trying to find a new normal that balances safety and respect (by practicing social distancing from people not in our
household and wearing masks in public) along with self-care and continued physical activity. Because I also am the conservator
of my younger sister with autism, I still make sure to visit her weekly to drop off smoothies or whatever I can so she knows
I'm still here for her, even if I cannot take her out for our usual lunch dates and walks. April-May 2020".

General
From the creator's own words: "After noticing that several people in a building in Glendale, CA, weren't wearing masks to
protect against COVID19, on July 23, 2020 I interviewed a person I know who lives there to understand why. She told me a neighbor
convinced many others that it was "just an attempt from The Government to control us." I tried to ask her more about the logic
of that argument and recorded what she said. I think we should interview more people and try to find out if some of the Latinx
who are dying of COVID19 were afflicted by this misbelief too".

Photograph of a security camera in Beverly Hills, California followed by a poem titled, "Social 9teen." spc_cov_116
February 27, 2020
Additional Description
From the creator's own words: "This is a poem that describes COVID-19 and its long term effect on us. How the name "Social-9teen"
came together: "social" is the only thing we no longer have, the thing that was taken away from us, "9teen" was from COVID-19,
the 19 was change to 9teen (nineteen).
The intro talks about how people feel at home, many concerns being brought up. One way or another, we are being affected.
The blindfold and headphones is an analogy for unknowingly being aware of what is going on (what is COVID-19). Or for those
that know what the virus is capable just knowingly ignore it because of some conspiracy theories floating around....
The poem was intended for people to find sentences that fits to their lives because we all are hurting. The last sentence
can be a lot to consume. "that night, I lost a friend" can mean a lot of things. Someone lost a loved one because of COVID-19
complications or someone has commited suicide because the white flag being waved was never addressed. This poem is open for
the reader to come up with their own conclusions about the poem. This is a brief explanation of the poem and what COVID-19
has done".

me appreciate the present for what it is, despite complications".
