Notes

Item description from donor: "Facebook post telling my friends about my sister contracting Covid 19 early on. "
Series description from donor: "These are a few Facebook posts that I have made during the pandemic. My sister recovered. Apologies for the language in the waiting room pic, but I was pretty floored at the time. I finished my MSIS in December '19 and luckily found a job in Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi's Special Collections Archive before the virus hit. I'm now working on a Graduate Certificate in Archival Management at UNT and in the INFO5375 class where we were asked to submit three memories about Covid 19 for extra credit. I have been working remote since April 1, which has made processing collections an interesting challenge. "
