Here’s my attempt to calculate NSW holidays from 1900 to 1950. It’s probably incomplete, but it’s a start… nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/wr…
A couple of years ago I gave a talk in which I tried to justify what I do as research. I was going to turn it into an article, but never did. So here’s ‘The multiplication of contexts’ as a blog post.
The @naagovau RecordSearch section of the #GLAMWorkbench has been updated with more notebooks to help you get Australian archives data in a usable form. glam-workbench.github.io/recordsea… Useful for #twitterstorians, #ozhist, & #govhack!
Crikey, my notebook for getting useful data out of @naagovau keeps growing! Now with sections on tackling large series, and harvesting ALL the images from digitised files. https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/GLAM-Workbench/recordsearch/blob/master/harvesting_items_from_a_search.ipynb
Want to save searches for items in @naagovau’s RecordSearch as CSVs for exploration & analysis? This notebook walks through the process of constructing, managing, and saving data harvests. #dhhacks
I’ve updated my harvest of OCRd text from digitised journals in @TroveAustralia. The complete dataset now includes 33,035 issues from 720 titles – about 8gb of text to explore. Details in the #GLAMWorkbench: glam-workbench.github.io/trove-jou… #dhhacks
My app to browse & search @TroveAustralia’s digitised journals has been updated! Since 4 July, 112 new titles & 86,211 new articles have been added to Trove. Many of these new titles are parliamentary papers. Explore here: trove-titles.herokuapp.com #dhhacks
Another WIP notebook in need of additional documentation… This one explores the stats around volunteer correction of OCR errors in @TroveAustralia’s newspapers. More to come!
And this notebook uses TF-IDF to explore the OCRd text of a digitised journal from Trove. Get the top TF-IDF scores for each year across a journal’s life and see how they change. More documentation coming!
This notebooks lets you download the OCRd text of a digitised journal from @TroveAustralia (via CloudStor) and then explore word frequencies over time. More documentation coming soon!
A new notebook looking at the data about digitised journals on @TroveAustralia. #dhhacks
There’s a new section of the GLAM Workbench devoted to the National Museum of Australia collection API! Harvest @nma data, then explore it by time and place. #dhhacks
The second new notebook looks at @TroveAustralia’s newspapers as a whole, visualising both by time and by state. Along the way it looks at favourites such as the WWI effect and the copyright cliff of death. #dhhacks
Some brand new Jupyter notebooks for those interested in #ozhist & digital exploration of @TroveAustralia’s newspapers. The first walks through different ways of visualising newspaper searches over time. #dhhacks
I’ve updated the @invisibleaus data repository with latest transcriptions/markings from White Australia Policy records in @naagovau.
Updates to the Trove newspapers section of GLAM Workbench – adding links to app-ified versions of some notebooks, & direct links to @mybinderteam for everything. If you work with @TroveAustralia newspapers you might find it useful.

NSW State Archives publishes a number of detailed indexes containing data manually extracted from their records. These provide additional entry points to the records, such as a person’s name, or a place. But they also provide useful data fo...
New in GLAM Workbench! Notebooks to harvest, index, analyse, and aggregate transcripts of speeches & interviews by Australian prime ministers. Plus links to harvested data and aggregated files. #dhhacks
I’ve updated my harvest of the PM Transcripts site — 22,814 XML files with transcripts of speeches, interviews, media releases etc by Australian Prime Ministers. Now with added @TurnbullMalcolm…
Repository includes an index of the files, and aggregations by PM. #dhhacks
Reorganising things a little at GLAM Workbench. @statelibrarynsw gets its own section. Hansard and @datagovau GLAM datasets now under ‘Australian government’. Making some space for further additions…
What’s that? You want MORE GLAM data? Well, I’ve started a list of sources for Australian GLAM data. Metadata, full text, images & more. Contributions welcome! #dhhacks
I’ve updated my harvest of GLAM datasets from data.gov.au. Now there’s 584 CSV files available for download! #dhhacks
I’ve put a copy of my article on using @TroveAustralia for digital research/play, written for the @HTANSW journal, up on my blog. #dhhacks
