A Digital Memorial for American COVID Victims

A Digital Memorial for American COVID Victims

That’s why I set out to create a lasting memorial by adding the data of 1,000 American COVID victims to Wikidata. This project demonstrates how data can help document lives and reveal connections—from birthplaces to occupations, from family relationships to final resting places.
