[Netarchivesuite-curator] BnF NAS update for April

[peter.stirling at bnf.fr]

Hello all,

As there are presidential elections in May and legislative elections in 
June in France, we have launched a focused crawl of the French electoral 
web. This crawl began last October (to cover the primary elections) and 
will continue until July 2017. The aim of this crawl is to document the 
election campaigns and votes of the presidential and legislative elections 
by archiving the online publications (candidates and political party 
websites, news articles, blog posts, social media reactions, institutional 
websites…) linked to political life and citizen debate. For the 
presidential elections, we are working closely with 14 BnF librarians, 
from the departments of Law, Economy, Politics and Philosophy, History, 
Human Sciences. Twenty-two legal deposit libraries, based in different 
French regions and overseas territories, have just started to cover the 
legislative elections. 610 sites have been crawled for the presidential 
election so far and the crawl is progressing well, thanks to Heritrix 3. 

At the end of April we will start working on the broad crawl. As usual 
this will take place in the autumn but we will be adapting the workflow to 
the new versions of NAS and Heritrix and to new architecture (new machines 
and operating system).

Finally, Géraldine, Sara and Thomas will be attending the NAS Workshop in 
Vienna at the end of the month, they look forward to seeing those of you 
who will be there.

Best regards,
The BnF digital legal deposit team
