Geneva’s Covid-19 Journal Project & Coloring Pages
You are part of this history! Share your stories of Covid-19 in Geneva with the Geneva History Museum to document this historic crisis. The GHM Archives contains many journals, letters and documents from previous historic events and this experience is important to share with future generations.
NEW – Coloring pages of historic buildings in Geneva: While we are all spending more time at home, have some fun coloring and drop it off in the Covid-Journal Project mail box to the left of the museum’s front door. These coloring pages will be put on display in the museum’s front windows for all to see as they are walking by. Choose from the following (more to come)
