Glaswegians asked to submit diaries from pandemic to be kept in archive for future generations

Glaswegians are being asked to submit their experiences of the pandemic to an archive that will be kept 'forever'.

Glasgow Life is asking for anyone who kept a diary over the last two years to submit it so that it can be used to inform future generations of what we lived through.

An initial call was put out in June 2020 encouraging people to keep a daily note of their thoughts, feelings, eating habits and even views during the tumultuous time in history.

Glaswegians of all ages were encouraged to take part to make sure the experiences of ordinary people living an extraordinary time are well documented.

The submissions will be preserved in the Glasgow City Archives and can be in electronic or handwritten format and can be anonymous or very personal.

Glasgow Life said: "Once we receive them, we will make sure that they are preserved forever as part of the City Archives collections.

"We will treat everything you send us with care and sensitivity. This may mean not allowing people to read them until after a long period of time has passed. "
