Accruals

New site crawls are accrued semiannually.

In 2020, mightyunionproduction.club and mightyunion.org were accruals were increased to biweekly.

Appraisal

Crawl was limited to domains and subdomains of youtube.com/channel/UCVI-MPhzZdmk4GhDcqNFsfg, sseu371.org, charlesensley.sseu371.org, mightyunionproduction.club, and mightyunion.org in order to remain within the collection scope and data constraints.

In 2023, YouTube URLs were changed to better capture the videos on the channel.
