Hello,

Here's a few details abour our crawl of French official publications, 
which is currently underway.

In 2011, a specific harvest definition "French official publications" was 
launched to optimize the collection policy regarding these documents, and 
now it's harvested once a year.

At the beginning, it contained the websites of the central administration 
(the websites of the government, the ministries and central institutions) 
but it has been progressively completed by the websites of :
- publishers of public documentation (ex : INSEE),
- French ambassies,
- European institutions where the main agency is located in France,
- international organizations where the main agency is located in France,
- local administration,
- other administrations and independant agencies: universities, hospitals, 
national parks...

The aims of these additions are to : 
- complete the printed collections: it's very difficult to collect French 
publications that are printed abroad,
- constitute a sample of the overall public documentation, published by 
each level of the administration.

Today the harvest definition includes more than 900 websites.

Best regards,
The BnF digital legal deposit team
