The Kildare Covid Notebook Project All the notebooks were identical but that's where the similarities ended. This project was aimed at older people and those cocooning in Kildare. In March 2020 over 140 moleskin notebooks were delivered to homes throughout the county by Kildare County Council who encouraged participants to share their reflections, artwork, and stories throughout the lockdown with the intention that the diaries would eventually become part of a permanent archive for the county. The notebooks were returned for digital scanning and reveal a treasure trove of lockdown memories. Funding was secured from Creative Ireland to make 'The Covid Diaries' short film which was shot by David C Lynch.
