Lexington-Fayette County (Ky.) Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Web Archives

Archived since: Mar, 2020

Description:

Comprises University of Kentucky and Lexington-Fayette County, Kentucky, archived websites and social media pages that document the university and community activities during and responses to the coronavirus disease 2019/COVID-19 pandemic starting in 2020 March. Includes only those seeds, Facebook pages, and Twitter and Instagram hashtags that are specifically about the novel coronavirus 2019 or were included as they documented Kentucky’s experience with and response to the pandemic. However, some sites, social media accounts and hashtags, have evolved into use beyond the pandemic. Some social media pages and hashtags have Kentucky-wide content. All other University of Kentucky web content, including all the UKnow press releases referring to the pandemic and the university and UK HealthCare social media accounts, can be found in the University of Kentucky Web Archives. Other community organizations and individuals' online resources that include coronavirus disease 2019 documentation but that are broader in scope than just that topic can be found in the Organizational Records and Community Personal Papers Web Archives collection. All records harvested through Archive-It and Webrecorder. Non-university seeds and social media pages are grouped under under Community or Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. Captured web pages and social media accounts can take a long time to load. Once a page is loaded, for access to embedded audio and video, users may have to click the play button in the Archive-It banner at the top of the page. The bulk of the seeds in this collection were captured from April 2020 to January 2023 and are no longer intentionally crawled. Many of these seeds may appear in other collections as long as the seed itself is still valid. Social media sites were not captured with consistent results, therefore some dates in Wayback may provide results while others may not. Also, some seeds did not produce a capture because of technological challenges. Those sites remain in the collection, but there is no associated content.
