Scope and Contents

The materials in this collection of webpages on ReplayWab.page contains offensive and harmful language and/or imagery including racist and violent references and imagery. Because the websites are not arranged in any particular order, it may be difficult to avoid sites containing racist, and/or violent language and imagery when navigating the collection. The purpose of this note is to give users the opportunity to decide whether they need or want to view these materials, or at least, to mentally or emotionally prepare themselves to view the materials.

Websites and webpages in this sub-series were captured using a tool called Webrecorder and are being made available through ReplayWeb.page. Archived content is presented in various formats relating to the events and aftermath of the "Unite the Right" rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 11 and 12, 2017. These include blogs, news websites, articles by the Southern Poverty Law Center, pages from the GoFundMe crowdfunding platform, pages from the Reddit and Daily Stormer discussion websites, and pages from the anonymous imageboard site 4chan. Hyperlinks to the web content created in the wake of August 11 and 12, 2017 were gathered and captured from 2017 through 2020. The November 2019 additions were due to Unicorn Riot's access to the Vimeo streaming server archive no longer being financially supported. UVA administration asked that these materials be archived.

These materials must be viewed using the Google Chrome web browser. ReplayWeb.page can be difficult to navigate. Captured websites are not arranged or displayed in any particular order, and sub-pages from the same broader site may not be presented together. Not all pages within a site may have been captured. If a page was not captured you will be given the option to load the live version of the page, meaning the version of the page that is currently available online. It is important to note that loading the live page will cause you to leave the collection within Replay Web.page. The easiest way to find sites of interest is likely to use the search bar to search for topics/keywords. In order for the search functionality to work correctly, scroll to the very bottom of the list of urls before searching.
