For a couple of years I’ve been harvesting datasets created or published by Australian GLAM organisations through government data portals. I’ve just completed the latest harvest, and there’s now 369 datasets, containing 983 files, from 23 GLAM organisations. 628 of these files are in CSV (spreadsheet) format. There’s a number of ways that you can explore the harvested data. You can browse a big list of datasets, or download a CSV containing all the harvested data or just those formatted as CSVs.
