COVID-19: Vancouver Island, BC (Central & North)

Collected by: Vancouver Island University

Archived since: Mar, 2020

Description:

In March 2020 the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition (CWAC) stated: "The deadly flu outbreak of 1918-19 is often called the ‘forgotten pandemic.’ Our responsibility now is to ensure the lessons of COVID-19 are not forgotten. Our collective efforts to capture and preserve the essential online elements of this unprecedented event are critical." (CARL-ABRC). The COVID-19: Vancouver Island, BC (Central & North) Web Archive reflects community experiences and responses to the pandemic in the region served by Vancouver Island University, documenting and supporting diverse aspects of scholarly inquiry, creativity, and community life. The Web Archive is intended to provide a body of information that will support scholarship, creativity, and study. Information rights related to web archiving include considerations of copyright and fair dealing, and of individual and community privacy. The following are among principles and resources that guide web archiving decisions: Ethics of care, for example in VIU Library’s Pledge to our user communities; OCAP® principles, and awareness of relationality and accountability to Indigenous communities, and potential impacts related to web archiving; Good practice and expert advice, emerging and accessed through communities of practice, e.g. the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition (CWAC); and VIU Library, Evolution of Physical Collections: 2017-2021 VIU Library, Special Collections Guidelines (Under review 2020). Web archives are informed by available capture technologies and also by affordances of the content source; not all websites can be successfully crawled or rendered, and quality of archived versions varies. This project is supported by VIU's Special Funding for COVID-19 research projects and carried out in coordination with the University of Victoria’s COVID-19 Collection and the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition.

Title: Languishing: the impact of COVID-19 on maternal well-being | Journal of Motherhood Studies

URL: https://jourms.org/languishing-the-impact-of-covid-19-on-maternal-well-being/

Description: Our research considers how the ‘burdens of care’ shouldered by mothers during the pandemic exact a toll on mothers’ mental health and well-being. The thematic focus in this article centres on emergent narratives voiced by Island mothers who may be feeling as though they are “languishing” as the pandemic lingers on. Our results lend support to existing studies but take a new approach in highlighting the impacts the pandemic has had on the mental well-being of mothers who may be neither “flourishing” nor clinically depressed, but whose feelings about their caregiving responsibilities may be situated in a liminal or in between space, knowing the potential of a downward spiral exists and is cause for concern. In short, our data suggests mothers’ perceptions of their caregiving responsibilities during COVID evoke feelings we liken to “languishing”. Situated in the context of historical and ongoing dismissals of these gendered experiences, these findings represent an opportunity to take individual stories and complaints of “languishing” seriously as they are rendered more visible and universal due to the pandemic, and address potential vulnerabilities associated with maternal health and well-being as we move towards a post-pandemic moment.
