Summary/Abstract: COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented event in the modern times and as such needed to be documented. This paper presents documentation gathered thanks to „Pandemic Diaries” – Polish journal competition on COVID-19 pandemic experience announced in March 2020. The paper presents competition methodology, basic sociodemographic data on diaries’ authors and preliminary analysis of the diaries. The most of the competitors were women, big cities residents and people with tertiary education. The diaries’ authors documented the historic moment of an epidemic threat in the repetitive manner – noting administrative decisions, relations from political life, and description of pandemic social symbols (masks, #stayathome, visuals of empty shelves in the stores). There were significant number of therapeutic journals.
