Archive interface language(s): French/English

Harvesting methods: Regional Domain, Selective, Event
In 2012, BAnQ undertook the selective harvesting of Web sites from Québec. BAnQ targets sites that are representative of Québec-centric activity on the Web. Sites collected can be accessed online or in BAnQ facilities, depending on the authorizations granted by publishers.
The legal deposit for digital publications was introduced in 2022. The websites of government departments and agencies listed in paragraphs 1° to 3° of the schedule to the Archives Act are subject to legal deposit. BAnQ aims to harvest all of these sites. Other websites are harvested selectively.
Authorization of the editors to disseminate the digital publications and web sites is required.
