<p><strong>LocalView</strong> is a Harvard University dataset containing <strong>1,000-10,000 municipality URLs</strong> with meeting videos and transcripts. It's the <strong>largest known database of municipal meeting video archives</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Challenge</strong>: The Harvard Dataverse requires JavaScript and may have CAPTCHA verification, so we need to download the files manually.</p>
