PADICAT presents a new monographic dedicated to the museums and collections of Catalonia opened to the public. A wide selection has been carried out through a deep search in several resources directories (search engine of museums and collections of the Generalitat de Catalunya, web sites of the 4 Catalan deputations, patronages of tourism of the regional councils, municipal sites, etc.).

The 7th elections to the European Parliament since 1979 were held in 27 member states of the EU between the 4th and the 7th June 2009. Among 491 millions European citizens, 375 millions were called up to the ballot box to elect 736 MEP. In Spain the elections took place on the 7th June.

Along the same lines as the special issues about the elections to the Catalan Parliament on 2006, and the local elections on 2007, Padicat offers a new special issue about the general elections to the Spanish Congress and Senate.

Internet has become a new mean of music distribution where the bands broadcast their sonorous proposals. The proliferation of the music in the net involves, some times, the absence of this same music in a physical format as, for example, a CD, and therefore, it has not been edited by any Record company.

Along the same lines as the special issue about the elections to the Catalan Parliament on 1st November 2006, PADICAT has intensively monitored the electoral campaign for the local elections of 27th May. Information was taken from the blogs and webs of principal candidates for the mayor’s office of 48 Catalan municipalities.

On the 1st November of 2006 the elections to Parliament were held in Catalonia. To understanding this key event for the Catalan society, we selected and harvested several versions of 81 online digital resources (political parties with and without parliamentary representation that presented candidature, personal blogs, web pages of the candidates, mass media, institutional digital resources, political foundations and research centers, etc) that have been incorporated to the Digital Heritage of Catalonia, to follow the evolution of the election campaign up in the Catalan Web.
