The Global Civil Society Organization Responses to COVID-19 web archive is a collection of archived copies of different pages from the websites of non-governmental organizations from around the world. Organizations are selected based on their responses to the COVID-10 epidemic; they include trade groups, think-tanks, academic associations, aid organizations, and advocacy groups. Sites with sub-sites dedicated to COVID-19 or a significant collection of resources were selected. The archive provides documentation of how organizations responded and adjusted positions to accommodate, understand, and gain control over a rapidly changing political, economic, and security landscape.
