In addition to sites covering environmental justice issues broadly, the collection contains topical subgroups focused on the City of Boston & Greater Boston; indigenous peoples; housing & urban issues; women; food justice; and water justice. Sites were identified by searching a series of topical keywords; by following related links from websites and Facebook “Liked by” pages; and by students in two Fall 2016 courses researching topics in environmental justice.
