We are interested in your story. Contact us if you would like to be interviewed, or would like to suggest someone to be interviewed.

The process, in brief.

The purpose of this oral history project, Collecting Hoboken: Building the History of the Coronavirus Pandemic, is to gather and preserve information for historical and scholarly use related to how people, such as yourself, are responding to the pandemic. A tape recording of your interview will be made by the interviewer and will be archived at the Hoboken Historical Museum.

Interviewers are staff and volunteers of the Hoboken Museum. We prefer the interview be conducted via Google Meet, but other options like Zoom, and audio are possible.
