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.

Description: BC Centre for Disease Control on Twitter: "Two years ago the first case of #COVID19 was detected in BC. @VCHhealthcare @Fraserhealth @VanIslandHealth @Interior_Health @Northern_Health @fnha @phsaofbc have worked tirelessly to prevent infections, vaccinate, and care for those who become ill. Here’s a look back: 1/12 / Our provincial labs have played a critical role in the pandemic. Becky Hickman and Tracy Lee from the BCCDC Public Health Lab developed the first test to detect COVID-19. 2/12 / Lab staff worked around the clock to do testing and sequence positive samples to identify variants. 3/12 / Resource after resource was developed to help make sense of COVID-19 and public health information on testing, self-isolation, vaccination, and more. Some even got turned into billboards. 4/12 / A saline gargle test was developed to make testing easier for everyone but especially kids and parents. 5/12 / What started as a research project to use wastewater to monitor infection levels in the community has grown into an established program. 6/12 / The BCCDC’s COVID-19 Rapid Response Team was set up to provide test results and support health authorities with contact tracing and vaccine clinics across the province. 7/12 / Epidemiologists and data scientists spend hours every day behind-the-scenes to monitor, track and analyze the billions of pieces of data from testing, cases, vaccinations, and more. 8/12 / Guidelines have been written and training and education has been developed to support health care professionals in managing COVID-19 cases and providing immunizations. 9/12 / Meanwhile naloxone kits and harm reduction supplies continued to be delivered across the province at record-breaking numbers to help prevent deaths from drug toxicity. More people are dying from toxic unregulated drugs than ever before. 10/12 / We are so grateful for the dedication of health-care workers around the province who have stepped up in helping us to navigate these public health emergencies. 11/12 / And a big thank you to every British Columbian from us @cdcofbc Blue heart 12/12"
