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. 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: Sonia Furstenau on Twitter: "Not a single one of the 160 words in this article explains any specifics of how BC is preparing for a possible #COVID19 surge. For example @AdrianDix could say, “we are preparing for a surge by ensuring free N95 masks are available to people. 1/ #bcpoli #COVID19BC / Or “We will be moving to make the 4th dose available to all British Columbians now rather than waiting until the fall.” 2/ #bcpoli #COVID19BC #COVID19 / Or “Our gov’t is installing proper ventilation and filtration (HEPA filters) in schools and workplaces and funding 10 day paid sick leave to ensure people don’t have to choose between infecting others or affording rent and food.” 3/ #bcpoli #COVID19BC / Or “From now on transparent data collection and reporting so people can gauge the ever-changing risk in public spaces will be a priority.” 4/ #bcpoli #COVID19BC #COVID19 / Or at the very least - acknowledging that all signs point to a surge this summer and acting immediately to ensure people are aware of how to best protect themselves and what the risk levels are. 5/5 #bcpoli #COVID19BC #COVID19"
