Patrimoni Digital de Catalunya (Padicat) is the web archive created in 2005 by the Biblioteca de Catalunya (BC), with the aim of collecting, processing and providing permanent access to the digital heritage on internet for the people of Catalonia  (Spain). Its collection policy is based on three pillars: exhaustive harvesting of the .cat domain, selective compilation of digital resources published by Catalan institutions and companies, and monographic capture of social events, such as electoral campaigns on the Internet. The article describes the actions taken to capture and preserve web pages for the most recent electoral contests, in order to show future generations the internet electoral campaigns of the early 21st century.
