Abstract

Based on a collaborative effort between the research project BodyCapital and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BnF), we present a two-step archiving process and analysis of audiovisual web content related to food and health history, investigating how audiovisuals have contributed to shaping our eating habits. The first step involved a web crawl with Heritrix, targeting 158 identified seed URLs compiled based on BnF science & technology lists and URLs identified by the research group. The crawl harvested 1,067,159 URLs. A content analysis identified 1,718 videos in our corpus. Content mapping and the identification of links to YouTube videos were performed, leading to the second step involving a focused collection of 34 YouTube channels harvesting 24,427 videos (2.4 TB) to be analyzed.
