Description:

The COVID-19 Web-Archiving Collection is a cooperative initiative between University of Victoria Libraries and the Vancouver Island University Library. The purpose of the collection is to capture web sources documenting how local governments, institutes, schools, non-profit organizations, businesses and communities in the southern region of Vancouver Island have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and how local social life has been impacted during the pandemic. This collection also includes sources documenting the increased incidents of racial discrimination and violence in British Columbia against marginalized populations such as Asian Canadian and First Nations communities that have occurred during the pandemic. For communities in the north and central regions of Vancouver Island see Vancouver Island University Library’s COVID-19: Vancouver Island, BC (Central & North) collection.
