The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted both Project MUSE's library customers and its participating not-for-profit publishers, along with the rest of the research and education community.

"MUSE in Focus: Contextualizing Pandemic" is a small sampling of temporarily free scholarship from Project MUSE publishers on the broad topic of pandemic and its effects throughout history, in culture, and on humanity as a whole.
