Description:

A collection created by the Content Development Group of the International Internet Preservation Consortium in collaboration with Archive-It to preserve web content related to the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak and ensuing pandemic. Identification of seed websites and web crawling began in February 2020, and the collection continued to add new seeds and recapture a core set of existing seeds until May 2023, when the World Health Organization downgraded Covid-19 from a PHEIC (Public health emergency of international concern) to a established and ongoing health issue. High priority subtopics included: coronavirus origins; information about the spread of infection; national, regional or local containment efforts, including vaccine development and implementation of vaccinations; medical and scientific aspects; social aspects; economic aspects; and political aspects. Websites from anywhere in the world and in any language were in scope.
