Your Story Matters! Help Us Preserve Your Experiences with Social Justice and Activism
The Old Dominion University Archives collects and preserves the history of the University including the experiences of students, faculty, staff, and alumni. In light of this mission, the University Archives is working to document our community's experiences during the ongoing international, national, and local #BlackLivesMatter movement, as well as stories of current and past involvement in similar social justice movements.
We invite Old Dominion students, faculty, staff, and alumni, as well as members of the Hampton Roads Community, to share their stories about participation in and experiences with #BlackLivesMatter and other social justice movements for the purposes of documenting and preserving personal histories:
Tell us your story with this simple online survey form
We consider it important to preserve individual histories in this unprecedented time. We are actively seeking personal stories related to social activism and the concerns of historically marginalized groups including, but not limited to, African Americans, Asian Americans, LGBTQIA+, Latinx, and Native Americans.
Any personal identifying information provided in this form will only be shared with individuals connected to this archiving project at Old Dominion University Libraries Special Collections and University Archives. It will not be published, displayed, or shared in any other way without the express permission of respondents.
If you are interested in donating digital and print artifacts (images, documents, flyers, etc.) related to current social activism and advocacy work, please email us at libspecialcollections@odu.edu. We look forward to working with you in documenting this critical and historic moment.
