Description
Today is the first of three COVIDCalls special episodes in partnership with two great research libraries: the American Philosophical Society and the Linda Hall Library. These episodes will explore challenges and changes for research libraries and the scholars that use them in the time of COVID. We will be especially interested to think about the ways that library and archival materials in the history of science, technology, and medicine can teach us about COVID-19.
