Description:

The UK European Union Membership Referendum, also know as the Brexit referendum, was a non-binding referendum that took place on Thursday 23 June 2016 in the United Kingdom to gauge support for the country's continued membership in the European Union. The referendum resulted in an overall vote to leave the European Union by 51.9%, with 17,410,742 votes to Leave and 16,141,241 to Remain. The UK European Union Membership Referendum Web Archive collected the most important Remain and Leave campaign websites, from environmental and academic grassroots organizations to trade unions and business groups. Also included were the main official websites about the referendum by the United Kingdom government. The web archive was created under the auspices of Katalin Radics by Dvorah Lewis and Oliver Mattheussens of the Collections, Research and Instructional Services (CRIS) department of the UCLA Library.
