GLAM data from government portals¶

Current version: v1.0.0 ¶

This is an attempt to assemble some useful information about Australian GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) datasets.

As a first step, I've harvested GLAM-related datasets from the various national and state data portals.

Harvesting GLAM data from government portals¶

This notebook attempts to harvest the details of GLAM datasets from state and national data portals. I did this by identifying relevant organisations, tags, and queries, and then harvesting all the packages associated with them. It also attempts some analysis of the results.

Harvest GLAM datasets from data.gov.au (deprecated)¶

This is a quick attempt to harvest datasets published by GLAM institutions using the new data.gov.au API. To create the list of organisations, I searched the organisations on the data.gov.au site for 'library', 'archives', 'records', and 'museum'. Note that due to a problem with duplicates on data.gov.au, I'm no longer using this notebook to harvest the data.
