Rainbow Butterflies by Paul Slinn
Lancashire
I work for the Lancashire County Council as an apprentice library assistant and for me seeing the queues to get into supermarkets had the biggest impact. Everybody was queuing and being so patient about the situation. Genuinely thought it would be over in a couple of weeks... We're still in lockdown and people still have to queue. It's changed every aspect of our lives.



Seeing the libraries close and knowing how difficult a decision it was to close them will live with me too. We see so many people coming through the doors every day and we have built a good rapport with them all... We do not know how our customers are doing right now, we can only hope that they are okay.

Everyone started putting rainbows in their windows to show support for the NHS and brighten the streets. I put origami butterflies in my window as symbol of change and new life.

Lancashire Covid 19 Archive
In April 2020, Lancashire Archives launched a project to collect and share the experiences of Lancashire residents during the Covid 19 pandemic. We asked people to send us anything they wanted to share, and we had an incredible response. Poems, diaries, photographs, artwork, videos, sound recordings all arrived, sent in by all ages from pre-schoolers to nonagenarians.
