The Seattle COVID-19 Oral History Project (SCOHP), sponsored by the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies, was started in the spring of 2020 as an initiative to document the experiences and stories of workers and unemployed individuals in Western Washington during the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing especially on communities of color, the project aims to create an oral history archive for students, researchers, and the general public housed in the Labor Archives of Washington (LAW). Although educational institutions such as Columbia University have started oral history projects to document the effect of COVID-19 on their local communities, many of these are not geared specifically toward frontline workers, whose daily lives have collectively been changed the most by the pandemic. I have developed the idea and structure for SCOHP as a project utilizing oral history to obtain an in-depth, on-the-ground perspective for studying workers and marginalized communities specifically. I collaborate with the local chapter of the Asian and Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA Seattle), UNITE HERE Local 8, and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) 1199NW to set intentions for the project, co-develop interview questions, and recruit interviewees. Collaborating with LAW, I have helped create and implement oral history trainings for a team of 12 student interns who will assist in preparation, interviewing, and processing. Our goal is to collect and process at least 20 interviews over the course of Winter and Spring of 2021, focusing on the topics of worker health and safety, race and intersectionality, childcare, the Black Lives Matter movement, labor unions, and differences across industries. This work is important for both documenting the experiences of occupational and other communities who have often been underrepresented in media coverage and popular discourse on COVID-19, and highlighting the intersections between occupation, race, ethnicity, immigration, and public health in a global pandemic.
