COVID-19 community archive

At the Matheson History Museum, we want to preserve your experiences. We are one of the primary organizations dedicated to Alachua County history. As we conduct research, we often wish that we had more photographs, narratives, and documentation from the past. Living through this historic event gives us all a unique opportunity to create and collect these primary sources for the future.

We are adding new submissions as they come in. Check out this page to see what's new!
