1918 Influenza – One Day at a Time

I will be working all year with colleagues John Walsh and Jessica Taaffe on a review of the 1918 Influenza from contemporary sources, primarily US newspapers digitized and cataloged by the Library of Congress (https://chroniclingamerica.gov). The project – One Day at a Time – will be a representative narrative of 1918, the fear, rumor, wartime accommodations and despair brought on by the biggest death event in our history.
