Share your pandemic time capsule!

What five items represent your COVID-19 experience? 

The City’s curatorial and collections staff develop, maintain, and interpret the Kingston Civic Collection. Staff assesses potential acquisitions of historical objects and artworks for their relevance to Kingston history and the collection’s specific mandate.

Step into the role of curator to select, organize and photograph a collection of five objects that you would put in a personal time capsule representing your COVID-19 experience. What best tells your own story? 

Your image will be considered for future museum exhibits and/or cultural programming to highlight the community’s pandemic experience.
