When #archivists at the East Riding Archives in Yorkshire wanted to collect young people’s stories of the #COVID19 pandemic they chose Minecraft Education as their collecting tool. Building a virtual space called the Archiverse, children shared their experiences through written creations or crafting objects representing their stories, all in the familiar world of Minecraft. In the end, archivists preserved over 150 stories from children in their community.
