Description
Summary:An impressive quantity of digital traces was produced during the Covid-19 health crisis, some of which were the subject of institutional collections. The aim of this article is to explore how Web archives play a fundamental role in the construction of collective memory. From a thematic point of view, our work strives to understand how these archives offer an exceptional opportunity to study phenomena linked to Covid-19. We will focus in particular on the BNF’s legal deposit web archives, which we were able to explore as part of the Web-mémoires project, developed in collaboration with the BNF DataLab and supported by the Labex Les passés dans le présent. From a methodological point of view, this article confronts the problem of analysing these Web archives. In particular, we aim to propose a novel workflow for the quantitative analysis of the BNF Web archives, based on a targeted theme that takes into account the technical and legal constraints associated with this type of data and its consultation within the framework of the Web legal deposit.
