The Caribbean Corona Chronicles is an Oral History initiative of The Caribbean Civilisation Unit of the Faculty of Humanities and Education, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine.
The main goal of this three-year project is to create a historical digital archive of 200 video recordings and transcribed interviews of persons of various vocations across the Caribbean whose lives have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns.
Utilizing the UWISpace digital research repository, this public archive will provide critical information for academic researchers, documentary makers, analysts and policy designers and help to strengthen future public health responses.
