‘Les archives de Marseille’ as well as those in Port-de-Bouc have launched an operation to collect up locals’ memories of this strange
period in all our lives: the goal is to make a collection of writings, art, recordings and films which communicate people’s thoughts, feelings and daily experiences.
They feel that, in 10, 20, 30 years, people will have forgotten what happened during this pandemic and so this collection will provide a rich source of first-person accounts; it will also they explain be a goldmine for people wanting to know more about their families.
I don’t know if Aix is planning a similar exercise but will keep an eye out. Meanwhile, details are here: https://www.francebleu.fr/infos/societe/coronavirus-et-confinement-les-archives-de-marseille-collectent-vos-memoires-du-confinement-1587127386
