 # Canadian COVID-19 Data Archive
 
-The purpose of this repository is to support automated, daily backups of COVID-19 data from Canadian governmental and non-governmental sources. It is composed of a list of datasets (`datasets.json`), as well as the Python code making up the archival tool itself. The Canadian COVID-19 Data Archive is one component of the **[What Happened? COVID-19 in Canada](https://whathappened.coronavirus.icu/)** project.
+The Canadian COVID-19 Data Archive is a collection of datasets, documents and webpages related to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, with files spanning March 2020 to January 2024. This project supported automated, daily snapshots of Canadian COVID-19 data from governmental and non-governmental sources beginning August 25, 2020 and concluding January 31, 2024. The Archive is maintained by [Jean-Paul R. Soucy](https://jeanpaulsoucy.com/) on behalf of the [COVID-19 Open Data Working Group](https://opencovid.ca/). It is a sister project to the [Timeline of COVID-19 in Canada](https://github.com/ccodwg/CovidTimelineCanada), a definitive dataset for COVID-19 in Canada.
 
 For a list of available datasets, see the [Data catalogue](#data-catalogue) below. For information on how to access the datasets in the archive, see [Accessing the data](#accessing-the-data).
