The Stradbroke Archive and Record Association (SARA) has set up a new online archive to capture what life is like in lockdown for the residents of Stradbroke. It is hoped that by collecting our social history of this global event in real time, that generations to come will have a real window into our village experience in 2020. This new archive is slightly different to the other two online archives, it is designed to allow really easy upload by villagers of their contributions - anyone can add photographs, short videos, memories (as text) and audio recordings from computers, tablets and mobile phones! SARA want to capture the every day types of experiences as well as the special events such as VE Day. So that walk in the fields, the food deliveries, learning to video conference and facetime, working from home, or not working from home! SARA want to know are you managing with social distancing? What have you learnt to cook? Share your recipes! Who has been helping and who is being helped? How are you keeping in touch with friends and family? Are your school aged children adapting to online learning? Lets see the work they are proud of! And of course... please upload your rainbows! SARA want the village of now and in the future to see how the global pandemic has changed and affected our day to day life, so join in and add your experiences. Go to
