Manitoba COVID-19 Outbreak

Collected by: University of Winnipeg

Archived since: May, 2020

Description:

The Manitoba COVID-19 Outbreak Collection created by the University of Winnipeg Library in collaboration with the University of Manitoba Libraries preserves and makes accessible archived web content related to Manitoba's response to the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) global outbreak. This collection documents the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic on the province, which saw its first cases on March 12, 2020. Identification of relevant web content began in March 2020, shortly after the first cases were reported in Manitoba. Initial web crawling began in May 2020 and the collection is updated as needed throughout the duration of the pandemic. The content crawled by the University of Winnipeg Library includes websites related to galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (cultural institutions, also known as GLAM, with a mission to provide access to knowledge); health and wellness (medical centres, medical associations, and organizations related to wellness and the improvement of health); Indigenous organizations (all organizations owned by or relating to Indigenous Peoples in Manitoba); labour and unions (any organization, association, or business dealing with labour relations and unions); media and communications (outlets used to store and deliver information, including print media, news, and broadcasting); religious organizations (religious and faith-based organizations with mission of social value based on that faith); and social work and services (public services provided by the government, private, profit, and non-profit organizations). It should be noted that the University of Manitoba and University of Winnipeg websites are not included in the crawled websites as they are routinely crawled by the respective institutions. Also note that some institutions may be cross listed with groups crawled by either or both Universities. The University of Manitoba Libraries have further documented websites relating to agriculture; arts and culture; business, trades, and technology; education; emergency services; entertainment and recreation services, and government.
