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. Nominate sites for inclusion in the Archive using this form.

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.

The Contemporary Composers Web Archive (CCWA) is a collection developed by the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation's Music Librarians (a collaborative working group including Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Yale Universities, and the Universities of Chicago and Pennsylvania). The CCWA is an extension of an existing Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation Music Librarians collaborative collection development agreement identifying approximately 1,500 globally based contemporary composers of sufficient importance to have their published printed works collected at a comprehensive level by at least one participating institution. The agreement defines “contemporary” composers as: 20th-century composers still active in 1975; works by those composers deceased before 1975 but published for the first time in significant new editions after 1975 (optional among members); and composers active after 1975. The Archive aims to preserve for researchers the personal / official websites belonging to these notable contemporary composers in order to assure the continuing availability of the important, and potentially ephemeral content they contain, such as: biography, bibliography, discography, recordings, writings, lists / notices of performances, audio and video performances, photos, press notices, and more.

The Design Card Decks for Ideation and Exploration Web Archive is curated by librarians at the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University, under the auspices of the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation. Card decks are used in design fields as a game-based methodology for ideation and stakeholder participatory collaboration. The purposes of decks vary; some are used for brainstorming new products and services while others are scenario-based, prompting designers to consider how their products or services may be incorporated into different communities. They function both as a tool for design speculation and as a set of illustrations that visualize design thinking. This archive preserves websites associated with these decks; as design thinking becomes popular in many disciplines, from business to science, the potential user groups for these tools greatly expands outside traditional design fields. Curators of the archive are: Shannon Robinson (University of Pennsylvania) and Gabriella Karl-Johnson (Princeton University).

The Digital Gaming Communities Web Archive preserves content, across varying web formats, generated by and related to digital games, in order to foster research within the discipline. Themes collected include critical gaming, game ethics, accessibility in gaming and game design, and user reviews and playthroughs. Content can be created by an individual, group of individuals, organizations, or corporations. While other sites are collecting digital games and criticism of digital games, no other archive is collecting the responses of the gamers themselves. This Archive will give current and future researchers a means of studying digital games and gamers in distinct and different ways than secondary sources represent. This collection attempts to collect many facets of gaming culture, which may include views expressed by people associated with extremist groups and may include hate speech in some cases. Although some users may find this content offensive or dangerous, its primary purpose is for research and teaching. The Archive is a collaboration between Dartmouth College, the University of Chicago, and Duke, Michigan State, and Wilfrid Laurier Universities, under the auspices of the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation. Curators of the Archive are: Laura R. Braunstein, Michelle Goodridge, Arianne Hartsell-Gundy, Matthew Murray, André G. Wenzel, and Jonah Magar.

The Eastern Europe and Former Soviet Union Web Archive is an initiative developed by librarians at Columbia, Princeton, Yale, and New York Universities, and the New York Public Library, in partnership (as the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation), with Brown University, the University of Chicago, Cornell University, Dartmouth University, Duke University, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Pennsylvania. The collection is curated by Thomas Keenan (Princeton), Robert Davis (Columbia), Anna Arays (Yale), Erik Zitser (Duke), Alla Roylance (New York University), and Bogdan Horbal (New York Public Library). The Archive represents an effort to preserve research-valuable web content from Eastern Europe and the territories of the Former Soviet Union by a group of research librarians responsible for that part of the world. The countries of the region in recent years have been publishing a wide variety of websites likely to be of value to contemporary and future humanities, social science, and history projects, and this Archive has been established as an attempt to identify, capture, and preserve this material. The thematic and generic scope of the archive is deliberately broad, and includes websites published by political parties, non-governmental organizations and activist groups, artists and cultural collectives, and historians, philosophers, and other intellectuals. Recommend a website for inclusion.

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:
In the early 2010s, young Chinese activists started organizing across China on issues related to women’s rights and LGBTQ rights. Known as the young feminist activists (青年女权行动派), they utilized creative tactics and media campaigns. However, their activism was faced by subsequent repression: in 2015, the state arrested five young feminists, who became known as the “Feminist Five” (女权五姐妹). In 2018, the #MeToo movement started as individual survivors posted their stories onto the Chinese Internet. As a result of state repression, surveillance, and censorship, many young feminist and queer activists now live outside of mainland China but continue their activism in the diaspora. They continue to advocate for women’s and LGBTQ rights in both China and in their host countries. These groups are also connected to and have synergy with existing local movements and organizations. Originally created as the “#MeToo and the Women's Rights Movement in China” web archive in 2019, the Archive is curated by Chengzhi Wang (Chinese Studies Librarian at Columbia), Xiao-He Ma (Librarian for the Chinese Collection at Harvard), Sara Howard (Librarian for Gender & Sexuality Studies and Student Engagement at Princeton) and Joshua Seufert (Chinese Studies Librarian at Princeton) in collaboration with student researchers including Kerrie Liang (Princeton), in partnership as the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation. The Archive aims to systematically capture and preserve web contents related to the feminist/women’s rights/#MeToo and LGBTQ movements in transnational Chinese networks both inside and outside of China, so that scholars and students will continuously be able to access these important, and potentially ephemeral, materials.

The Historical Representation at American House Museums Web Archive aims to document the changing interpretation and presentation of the experiences of working people and immigrants, the lives of the enslaved, the contributions of women, LGBT individuals, indigenous peoples, and various ethnic groups at historic house museums in the United States. House museums have been a key component of historic preservation in America since the mid 19th century. Until recently, house museums largely interpreted the lives of great
men (and, on rare occasions, women), first and second generation settlers in America, or the work of master architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright or Stanford White. More recently, many house museums have begun changing their focus to include the experiences of underrepresented peoples, including but not limited to the groups mentioned above. Websites have in many cases replaced printed guidebooks in disseminating the social history of these sites. The Historical Representation at American House Museums Web Archive is curated by librarians, library workers, and professors at Columbia University (Andrew S. Dolkart and Chris Sala) and Johns Hopkins University (Holly Tominack), under the auspices of the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation.

Chinese independent documentary filmmakers from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong have been crucial to bring attention to social and political developments. Their projects are important primary source material for the study of contemporary China, and support institutions’ programs on contemporary China studies. Because of the sensitive nature of their work, their web presences are at risk to disappear at any time. Distribution of Chinese independent documentary films also increasingly faces difficulties. The filmmaker’s websites, blogs and video feeds include information and videos that are otherwise unavailable. Curated by Luo Zhou, Chinese Studies Librarian at Duke, and Joshua Seufert, Chinese Studies Librarian at Princeton, the archive aims to systematically capture and preserve theses ephemeral websites for future access.

In the last two years, the Government of India under its ruling Hindu nationalist party, the Bharatiya Janata Party, has enacted the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), and promoted other regulations, such as the National Register of Citizenship (NRC), designated to change the rules for who can and who cannot be or become an Indian citizen, and who can immigrate — for the first time making religion a key criterion. These regulations have sparked communal tensions and fears among India's religious and ethnic minorities. The Indian Citizenship Amendment Act Protest Movements Web Archive documents the widespread social justice movements and anti-CAA organizations to support them, as well as the allied movements mobilizing women and students with them, including groups of freedom fighters, oppressed castes, transgender people, and other marginalized communities. The Archive also contains documentation of the government crackdowns and violent suppression of these protests. The Archive is curated by Aruna Magier (New York University0, Jef Pierce (University of Pennsylvania), and Gary Hausman (Columbia University), under the auspices of the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation.

Amplifying the voices of those fighting against long histories of patriarchal dominance, the South Asian Gender and Sexuality Web Archive documents and preserves the work of activists, grassroots organizations, and social justice movements committed to promoting the visibility and experiences of LGBTQAI+ people and women in South Asia and its diasporas. With an emphasis on the websites of non-governmental organizations, and on the resources generated by social justice activist groups and individuals, the Archive demonstrates how organizations approach goals of advocacy, education, and capacity building related to issues of gender and sexuality across South Asian regions. An additional focus on resources that showcase the voices of LGBTQAI+ people and women — as revealed in expressions such as oral narratives, writings, performance, and the arts — provides insight into the struggles and resilience of the marginalized, offering content that is largely unavailable or preserved elsewhere and which is likely to disappear. Under the auspices of the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation, and curated by Laura Ring (University of Chicago), Jef Pierce (University of Pennsylvania), Aruna Magier (New York University), and Richard Lesage (Harvard University), the Archive foregrounds the lives of South Asian LGBTQAI+ peoples and South Asian women around the world, and chronicles their movements against gender and sexuality based violence and discrimination.

This web archive preserves material on, about, and from the Woman, Life, Freedom movement of Iran, which emerged in the wake of the 2022 police killing of Mahsa Jîna Amini. Her arrest by the morality police, on alleged grounds of non-compliance with the compulsory Hijab Law, ignited a series of protests that began in Kurdistan, spread across all levels of Iranian society, and reached other marginalized regions like Sistan-Baluchistan. This movement garnered international solidarity, with the Iranian diaspora and global activists demanding accountability from the Iranian government. Despite the government's attempts to violently suppress dissent, the movement persists into 2023. This archive curates a collection of videos, photographs, art, music, petitions, statements, and diverse forms of expression that have emerged from this movement, showcasing both government crackdowns and the resilience and determination of the Iranian people in their pursuit of meaningful change. The majority of the web resources were collected between October 2022 and May 2023. The Woman, Life, Freedom Movement of Iran Web Archive is an initiative developed by librarians under the auspices of the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation.
