Collection Overview

Scope and Content: The Lexington-Fayette County (Ky.) Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Web Archives (dated 2020-2023; 89 online resources: 28 websites, 21 social media sites, 40 blogs) 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 and ending in June 2023. 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. 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 in Archive-It under "Community" or "Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government."
