The Trove Journals section of the #GLAMWorkbench has been updated to work with the new @TroveAustralia interface! I’ve also re-harvested ALL the OCRd text from digitised journals — 6gb of text from 397 journals now downloadable in bulk from CloudStor. #dhhacks https://glam-workbench.github.io/trove-journals/

New in #GLAMWorkbench! After you’ve used the @TroveAustralia Newspaper Harvester to download lots & lots of articles, try exploring the results in Datasette. [This notebook] sets everything up, you can even add full text search & images! #dhhacks

Download newspaper articles in bulk! The Trove Newspaper Harvester has been updated to work with the new @TroveAustralia interface. I’ve also added the ability to save articles as .jpg images!

My app for searching in @TroveAustralia’s digitised journals has been updated to work with the new Trove interface. You’ll need to have switched over to the new interface before you try searching (just click the link on the Trove home page). https://trove-titles.herokuapp.com/

Another db migrated and app updated!

Here’s an example to create/compare screenshots of captures. #dhhacks https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/GLAM-Workbench/web-archives/master?urlpath=%2Fapps%2Fsave_screenshot.ipynb

Do you have a CSV file you’d like to make searchable, maybe even share online? New on #dhhacks, I show you how with @simonw’s awesome Datasette tool & @Glitch. Give it a try! https://101dhhacks.net/share-searchable-csvs/

New on #dhhacks – make your own @TroveAustralia newspaper game! Thanks to @glitch, just edit a couple of files to create your own customised edition of Headline Roulette – make it about cats, or Queensland, or Communist Party newspapers, or whatever! https://101dhhacks.net/headline-roulette/

I’ve given my #dhhacks site a refresh, and updated my @TroveAustralia Twitter bot tutorial to link to the latest versions of the bots on @glitch. The new code is actually easier to customise, so plenty of opportunities to play around! More DHHacks coming soon… https://101dhhacks.net/trove-bots-for-all/

If you’d ever wished you could get a random(ish) newspaper article from @TroveAustralia’s API, here’s a hack for you! I’ve added an option to return a random article to my Trove proxy app. You can filter by normal API facets. Go to: https://trove-proxy.herokuapp.com/ #dhhacks

The GLAM CSV Explorer has had a few updates — you can now filter by organisation, and upload your own CSV files! #GLAMWorkbench Try it live on Binder. https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/GLAM-Workbench/csv-explorer/master?urlpath=%2Fapps%2Fcsv-explorer.ipynb

Updated! My notebook to upload digitised newspapers from @TroveAustralia to an @Omeka-S site has been improved — no longer trips over non-newspaper articles in Zotero collections, and does a check to avoid uploading existing articles. #dhhacks https://glam-workbench.github.io/trove-newspapers/#upload-trove-newspaper-articles-to-omeka-s

My data file of public holidays in NSW from 1900-1950 has been updated – now including variations in the King’s Birthday holiday and extra days like VE Day. #dhhacks https://github.com/wragge/sydney-stock-exchange/blob/master/nsw_holidays_1900_1950.csv

My harvest of OCRd text from @TroveAustralia digitised books, ephemera, and parliamentary papers has been updated! There’s now 19,795 text files (about 3gb) to explore!
