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.

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.

War in Ukraine

Archived since: Jul, 2022

Description:

On 23 February 2022, the armed forces of the Russian Federation invaded the territory of Ukraine, annexing certain regions and cities and carrying out a series of military strikes throughout the country, thus triggering a war in Ukraine. Since then, the clashes between the Russian military and the Ukrainian army and population have had an unprecedented impact on the situation in the region and on international relations. This collection aims to collect web content related to this event in order to map the impact of this conflict on digital history and culture. Identification of seed websites and initial web crawling began in July 2022, and the collection will continue to add new content as the conflict evolves. High priority subtopics include: general information on military confrontations; consequences of the war on the civilian population; refugee crisis and international relief efforts; political consequences; international relations; diaspora communities--Ukrainians around the world; human rights organisations; foreign embassies and diplomatic relations; sanctions imposed on Russia by foreign powers; consequences on energy and agri-food trade; and public opinion (blogs/protest sites/activists). Websites from all over the world and in all languages are in scope.
