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. Contact us at research.help@viu.ca with questions or for more information about content included in the Web Archive. [Working description 2021 April 6]

Description: Lindsay Brown on Twitter: "This is a call out for staff for Vancouver Island vaccine clinics. It's incredible - so in short, they might have some people in these positions in 10 days? At the fastest? And this was only posted internally? What's going on, @AdrianDix @CDCofBC ? #bcpoli / Meanwhile BC kids' vaccine clinics are closed for a long stretch over the holidays, with #Omicron coming, and showing up strongly in kids in South Africa? And when they're open, in some areas kids are only vaccinated Fri-Sun? / BC booster rollout is so slow I've heard docs & nurses I know wonder if a circulating theory might be true, that @CDCofBC is studying long vax intervals vs case #s, hence the delay. They (& I) are 100% non-conspiratorial generally. But CDC does have history of this sort of study. / I don't even want to contemplate a study that unethical, that frankly criminal. As a friend pointed out, population-wide medical studies cannot cause harm. I bring this up to show the talk CDC is exposing itself to, & how deep HCWs are digging to explain the inexplicable delays."
