The Pandemic Project: Stories from Long Beach during the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020
The Historical Society of Long Beach is collecting stories from those who live and work in this community to become part of our permanent archive. Our goal is to create a repository of stories and local communications that will be used by researchers, students, and others seeking to know more about how a global pandemic affects a city and its residents.
Historical Society of Long Beach’s Gallery and Research Center are closed to the public until social distancing guidelines change due to COVID-19. We also cannot help researchers at this time.
We are checking emails and telephone messages, and fulfilling photo and book orders.
At Home Activities for Everyone!
Challenge your mind and your coloring skills while learning about Long Beach History.
We have served the city for over 50 years, collecting and preserving its rich history for current and future generations. We invite you to visit our gallery at 4260 Atlantic Avenue in the city’s Bixby Knolls neighborhood.
