Description:

Websites captured in the Matthew Shepard Web Crawl reflect a broad and in-depth coverage of the Shepard murder, memorials, and efforts that address inequalities based on gender and sexual orientation. These include sites such as the Westboro Baptist Church that protested at University of Wyoming following Shepard’s death and condemns homosexuality. Also included are websites for films and books based on and related to the Shepard murder, and blogs by friends and family of Matthew Shepard. Creation of this collection was made possible by a grant through the University of Wyoming's President's Advisory Council on Minorities' and Womens' Affairs.
