Description:
The Belarusian Politics and Society Web Archive exists to preserve websites, social media, and other digital content related to the 2020 presidential election campaign in Belarus and the events that followed. Its primary focus is on output of the opposition to President Alexander Lukashenko and of unofficial, pro-Lukashenko actors, including: non-governmental organizations, local news outlets, trade unions, cultural organizations, and individual cultural figures and activists. These materials are endangered either by the Belarusian regime itself taking action to suppress them, or by individuals responding to pressure from the regime to self-censor and remove materials from the Internet. This Archive will provide stable and continuing availability of these ephemeral resources for current and future researchers. The Belarusian Politics and Society Web Archive is curated by librarians at Harvard and Stanford Universities, the University of Chicago, and the Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library and Museum, under the auspices of the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation.

Description:
The Brazilian Presidential Transition (2018) Web Archive is a collection built by the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation and member libraries of the Latin America Libraries of the Northeast Group. Talía Guzman-González (Library of Congress), Sócrates Silva (Columbia / Cornell University Libraries) and Jill Baron (Dartmouth Library) are the project leads, with significant contributions from members of the Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials. The Archive comprises Brazilian government websites in the areas of human rights, the environment, LGBTQ issues, and culture, for the period following the election of Jair Bolsonaro as president of Brazil on October 28, 2018, up to his inauguration on January 1, 2019. The collection targets web content considered to be vulnerable due to the anticipated consolidation or elimination in the aforementioned areas, and represents a snapshot of government content before Bolsonaro took office, with the aim of preserving these important, but potentially ephemeral, documents for researchers and scholars.

Description:
The Extreme Right Movements in Europe Web Archive is a collection built by members of the Ivies Plus Western European Studies Affinity Group, under the auspices of the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation. By ‘extreme right’ the Group understands a large ideological spectrum of radical right thinking, extending from anti-globalization and right-wing populism, to white nationalism, neo-fascism, and extremism. Extreme right movements and ideology share a number of features, which typically include hostility to globalization, fervent criticism of immigration, and have political, social, and religious aspects, and exist outside of and are more radical than mainstream conservatism. The Archive collects a wide array of web content, and aims to preserve this content for scholars, teachers, and future researchers in the humanities and social sciences as documentation of the rise of extreme right movements in Europe in the early twenty-first century. Most of the sites in this archive were added to the seed list in 2018 and it has not been significantly expanded since then. Much right-wing activity on the Internet has migrated from stable websites to social media platforms such as 8kun, Twitter, Telegram chats or Facebook--services that a web archive is not able for technical or legal reasons to capture comprehensively. This archive thus represents a snapshot in time, when the energy in European right-wing activity was rooted in anti-immigration, Islamophobia, long-standing issues exacerbated by the 2015 migration crisis. We have not systematically added any new sites reflecting the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine skepticism, QAnon, or the aftermath of the US 2020 election. The Archive is still actively crawling the sites listed. Although some users may find this content offensive or dangerous, its primary purpose is for research and teaching. Due to the nature of this material, access to the Archive is restricted to on-campus use within the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation. If you have questions about this collection, please contact erme@library.columbia.edu.

Description:
The State Elections Web Archive is an initiative developed by librarians at Columbia, Duke, Harvard, and Princeton Universities in partnership (as the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation), with Brown University, the University of Chicago, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University. The collection is curated by Kristina Williams (Columbia), Keely Wilczek (Harvard), Jeremy Darrington (Princeton), and Ryan Denniston (Duke). The State Elections Web Archive aims to preserve campaign websites of declared candidates running for state elective offices in order to assure the continuing availability of these important, ephemeral documents for use by researchers and scholars. This initiative initially intends to preserve campaign content and websites for candidates in states with an Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation institution — California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island — with the hope of adding additional states and / or other subnational elective offices as resources permit.
