So #Trove has a new 'Content survey' form for you to fill out. The 'content' in this case is not what's in Trove, but what gets shared by Trove through social media.
Far be it from me to suggest that you might reply 'Examples of research tools and methods for working with Trove data' to the question about what you'd like to see shared through social media.
And yes, Trove's social media still steadfastly refuses to admit that the #GLAMWorkbench and all the associated Trove tools and resources actually exist...
I've written a little post about the National Library of Australia's collection of archived websites in Pandora and the new #GLAMWorkbench section that helps you to work with the data.
Want to find websites from Australian elections back to 1996? Just go to Pandora. Want all the urls in a spreadsheet? Just run my new notebook.
It also includes a new option to mask the image. If this is checked the app will try and snip the article out of the page, rather than just cropping to a box around it. #GLAM#histodons#digitalHumanities#ozHist
About five years ago I created a collection of full-page editorial cartoons from The Bulletin, harvested from #Trove. Through a process that might be politely described as ‘iterative’, I fiddled with an assortment of queries and methods until I had at least one cartoon from every issue published between 4 September 1886 and 17 September 1952 – 3,471 cartoons in total.
The NSW State Archives section of the #GLAMWorkbench has been updated! Because of changes to their website, I've been able to rework my code and run a complete harvest of their online indexes for the first time since 2019.
I've harvested 75 indexes containing 2,481,881 rows of data. There's convicts, immigration, inquests, businesses – all sorts of fabulous stuff now saved as CSV files for research exploration.
