Pennsylvania and the 1918-1919 Pandemic

Hi all,

Sharing a project that may be of interest. Library staff who are working remotely during the pandemic have been monitoring reports published in Pennsylvania newspapers about the 1918 pandemic . Each week a half-dozen articles are selected reflecting the experiences of Pennsylvanians - not just about the pandemic but other issues of the day. Articles selected for the week of Oct. 6-12 include notices of school closings, discussions of women's suffrage, prohibition, and advice to wear a gas mask and avoid crowds to ward off the rising influenza threat!
