The Living Archives welcomes Taisuke Ono to our project. This interview was conducted by undergraduate Capstone students in the Queens University Knight School of Communication in Spring 2023. The Living Archives Project (www.livingarchivesclt.org) is a collaboration between the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, the Levine Museum, Johnson C Smith University and the Duke Center for Documentary Studies. The project aims to capture and preserve the stories of marginalized communities in Mecklenburg County through the COVID-19 pandemic. These communities are rarely included in traditional archives and this effort will preserve those stories for generations of researchers and descendants in the future. We are scheduling interviews with anyone who would like to share and archive their pandemic experience through 2023.
