Mini-FAQ:
Can I upload ______?
Sure, if you think it fits! This project aims to catalog temporary signage that will disappear after COVID-19 which references the pandemic or resultant measures, such as social/physical distancing, mask-wearing, hand washing, and vaccination. Signs on businesses, guerrilla stickers/posters, murals, billboards, floor markers, and more are all welcome. If you have questions, send me an
email or
tweet.
How should I format location?
If in the US: City, ST (e.g. Seattle, WA). If elsewhere: City, Country (e.g. Budapest, Hungary). Feel free to specify further for ambiguous names.
What do I put for "Author"?
This should be the name of the photographer (presumably you). This could be a full name, pseudonym, or an online handle – however you'd like to be credited in the case anyone would like to use your photo. If this field is left blank, it will default to "Anonymous".
Why ask for a transcription?
Transcribing the primary/relevant text on your sign(s) assists with making this collection available as a dataset/corpus of (computer-readable) text – for the sake of language-based analysis of signage – and helps with accessibility. This is not technically required to successfully upload a photo but is really helpful! For textless photos, please enter "N/A" (and include the "no text" tag).
Can I batch upload a bunch of photos at once?
Yes!
