We started preparations for our annual selective harvest. We will crawl nearly 9450 selections with 3 budget parameters (from 50 000 to 150 000 URL per domain) divided into 19 jobs.
We also began a work on filters based on those put during the previous harvests in order to perpetuate them.

The Environnemental Issues and Artificial Intelligence harvests have been launched in March. 800 and 650 sites are respectively collected during 3 weeks. The Environmental Issues harvest will lead to a virtual guided tour at the end of the year.

The first Instagram harvest of the year was launched in mid March and lasted approximately one week. This crawl covered the themes of literature and environmental issues in the perspective of the guided tour we plan for the end of the year.

Finally, we are continuing preparations to welcome you at the IIPC Web Archiving Conference which will be held from April 24 to 26 at the BnF.

This month, we start with two new elections. The Catalan elections and the elections for the European Parliament, which join the two elections we have already been developed, the Galician elections, which are already ending, and the Basque elections. All of them in coordination with the different Spanish regions.

We have been some problems saving videos from Youtube. It is no longer possible to extract the URL of the videos with the tools we were using, is anyone else having problems saving them?
