Dear ones,
Where might I get or mirror a dump of Commons media files?
> It seems worth mentioning on the front page of
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/

the internet archive; in 2013 it stopped include the month+year in the
title; in 2016 it stopped altogether.

Hi.
I'm looking for a few examples of *video* files contributed to Commons
recording a lecture, performance, or other *non-Wikimedia* event at
(ideally) a library, or a museum or archive. There are several recordings
of Wikimedia workshops and talks given at GLAMs, but I'm interested in an
example of a non-Wikimedia event held at a GLAM, whose recording was
released under a free license and contributed to Commons.
I spent a good half an hour trying various category maneuvers to find
something like that, but failed. Do you maybe have an example you are
aware of that you could point to?
Thanks,
A.
