Since March 2021, I’ve been harvesting details of newly-digitised files in the National Archives of Australia to help document long-term changes to online access. A few weeks ago, I summarised the data from 2024, and published annual compilations in Zenodo. I’ve now created an automatically-updated dashboard which displays digitisation progress in the past week, the current year, and since my harvests began.

Each week, after the latest data harvest, a GitHub action runs a Jupyter notebook that pulls in the data, generates some visualisations and summaries, and saves the results as an HTML page. It’s similar to the Trove newspaper data dashboard. Check in every Sunday afternoon to see what’s changed!
