Belarusian politics and society web archive
Access this databaseDescription
"The Belarusian Politics and Society web archive exists to preserve websites, social media, and other digital content related to the 2020 presidential election campaign in Belarus and the events that followed. Its primary focus is on output of the opposition to President Alexander Lukashenko and of unofficial, pro-Lukashenko actors, including: non-governmental organizations, local news outlets, trade unions, cultural organizations, and individual cultural figures and activists. These materials are endangered either by the Belarusian regime itself taking action to suppress them, or by individuals responding to pressure from the regime to self-censor and remove materials from the Internet. This Archive will provide stable and continuing availability of these ephemeral resources for current and future researchers. The Belarusian Politics and Society Web Archive is curated by librarians at Harvard and Stanford Universities, and the University of Chicago, under the auspices of the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation."
