This afternoon, we are going to be starting our discussion of the Great Depression and what were going to be doing today is talking about how the Great Depression affected ordinary people. Were going to talk about sort of the nuts and bolts of the situation and the things that people would have experienced in their everyday lives if they were seriously affected by the problems of that decade. Now, i dont normally use images like this, but im using this one for a reason. Grandma survived the Great Depression because her supply chain was local and she knew how to do stuff. Thats a really important concept, and were going to come right back to it at the end of class as well. This really is sort of the theme for the day.

So it has been a long process and we have kind of ramped up as we have come home to think about collecting. At what point did you realize this pandemic would stretch into the fall and potential winter . As historians, we have definitely thought about difficulties inherent in making a vaccine and we were pretty sure this pandemic would last a fair amount of time and we would need to remain at home for some months while a vaccine was being created. They were keeping things week by week in the museum. Before mid march, what were your job duties and what has changed in the last couple months . I oversee a division of historians of medicine and historians of science. When the pandemic was beginning, we were actually very deep into the planning part of it and began to think about changing our exhibits. We thought it would be important to include covid19. That meant that we needed to thinking about c ....
