Are you 70 or over? How did you find the Covid-19 lockdown? We believe it's important to gain views from this demographic, which was often identified in the media as being most at risk and in need of protection, yet their views and experiences during this time remain largely unknown.

A team of researchers from the University of Auckland are gathering letters from older New Zealanders about their experiences of lockdown, to inform key research about government and media responses in the event of future pandemics. Some of the letters will be acquired by Auckland Museum to record this unique period in our history for years to come.

If you or someone you know would like to participate, find out more here.
