Note

• It Takes a Village: Rural Central Appalachian Childcare Providers' COVID-19 Experiences: COVID-19 American History Project (AFC 2023/017), American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.
• The United States Congress mandated the COVID-19 American History Project in 2023 as an initiative of the American Folklife Center to document, preserve, and make available, stories of Americans' experiences with the pandemic and the significant shifts it caused. From 2023 to 2024, the American Folklife Center contracted researchers to conduct oral history interviews with workers on the front lines of COVID-19. These workers' stories detail the changes they experienced in their personal and professional lives. Workers speak about the loss of family and friends, the hardships they endured, and moments of resilience, when they sought to make the best of uncertain times. The interviews also detail how frontline workers experienced the pandemic differently, based on their geographic location and chosen professions. Taken together, these stories serve as a snapshot of what it was like to live and work in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• This project is authorized by the COVID-19 American History Project Act, a bill authored by Representative Julia Letlow of the 5th District of Louisiana. The 2023 Legislative Branch Appropriations Bill (H.R. 117-389) directs the American Folklife Center to “collect, preserve, and make available to the public an archive of submitted oral stories of those who were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, survivors of loved ones who lost their lives to the disease, and frontline healthcare workers who tirelessly worked to eradicate this virus.”
