Letter: Share your pandemic pictures with Tiverton Historical Society

Posted

To the editor:

As posted on their website since April, the Tiverton Historical Society is collecting photographs of the effects of this pandemic on Tiverton and towns in the local area. 

If anyone would like to submit a photo of roped-off playgrounds, signs in windows, shuttered businesses, teddy bears in windows, thanks to essential workers, etc., you may email it (preferred) to susan@tivertonhistorical.org or mail to THS at PO Box 95, Tiverton, RI  02878 with a description of the location. 

Any poems, thoughts, or short prose written by Tiverton residents or business owners on the subject are also welcome. 

THS posted the history of the 1918 pandemic in New England on their website in "Tales of Tiverton" in April. This month highlights three women pioneers in health care: Florence Nightingale, Dorothea Dix, and Clara Barton. Every month the "Tale" changes, but past articles are kept online for posterity. For more information on Tiverton Historical Society, visit www.tivertonhistorical.org.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
