U.S. Presidential Election Reflections: Social Media Collecting Project
You've been reading them all day. Now, you can help Utah State University Special Collections and Archives gather and preserve the reflections and reactions of U.S. citizens and others to the 2016 presidential election.
Share your story!
Randy Williams, folklorist and curator in USU’s Special Collections and Archives, coordinates this project.
“Whether you are encouraged or discouraged by the election results, we want to collect your reflection of this momentous national event,” Williams said. “It is important for our children and future generations to know what we were thinking and feeling. Like tiles in a mosaic, each voice adds shape and dimension to our national identity.”
The project is fast (under 20 minutes) and all online. Those interested can copy and paste something they’ve already shared on social media or, participants can compose their reflections at the USU online collection site.
And, Williams said, please help us get the word out to others by sharing the postcard on your social media sites.
