Thornbury Museum is looking for help to document the coronavirus pandemic.

Although the museum is currently closed, volunteers are still busy and are now looking ahead to how this period of the town's history will be remembered.

A post on the Thornbury and District Facebook page said: “We are experiencing one of the worst times in our lives, just as people did during WW1 and WW2 because we are fighting a deadly virus.

“Coronavirus (Covid 19) will become history and in classrooms children will be learning about what happened to us in 2020.

“As a museum, it is our responsibility to gather, document and keep preserved for the future any aspects of this awful time with regards to Thornbury and the surrounding district.

“We are hoping that those of you who are willing and able to do so, would be interested in keeping notes or a diary, photos, of any and all that you or your friends and family experience, good and bad, during this time relating to shopping, medical, travelling, communication, entertaining and schooling at home, working, etc.

“We would like to hear about anything, no matter how insignificant you may think it is.

“You can send us information at any time, or you may prefer to wait until this episode in our history has passed.”
