The lessons learned from past epidemics have not necessarily been fully applied to the social developments surrounding COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the minutes of the experts' meeting on the new coronaviruses, which are supposed to be strictly controlled and "stocked" by society, have not been preserved, and the significance of public records is undermined. In view of this situation, the author would like to reiterate the importance of keeping a detailed record, or "stock", of the situation of our society today, a "flow" that will likely remain in history. This report is intended to cover the real-time archiving activities of the members of SIG COVID-19 and others who are engaged in the practice of archiving in various places. I hope that the results of these efforts will be applied to the new pandemics that are now in progress and are sure to occur in the near and distant future.
