2. The City of Savannah Municipal Archives is responsible for collecting, preserving, and providing access to records documenting the City of Savannah’s history. The Archives shares this history with City employees, citizens, and visitors through various outreach programs. The City wants to make sure we document the extraordinary events of 2020-2021, and how they impacted the City of Savannah organization, City employees, and the community we serve.

4. We are collecting documentation related to:

   Major events in 2020-2021 and how they impacted City of Savannah employees (either at work or at home), including: the COVID-19 pandemic; the 2020 recession; the Black Lives Matter movement and protests; and the 2020 election. Submissions can address, but are not limited to: how employees pivoted at work to continue delivering services and programs in new ways during a pandemic; how the events of the year affected employees on a personal level and maybe required changes outside of work; or stories of City employees or local organizations/individuals making a difference this year.
