wragge, About five years ago I created a collection of full-page editorial cartoons from The Bulletin, harvested from #Trove. Through a process that might be politely described as ‘iterative’, I fiddled with an assortment of queries and methods until I had at least one cartoon from every issue published between 4 September 1886 and 17 September 1952 – 3,471 cartoons in total.
Last night, as I was tidying up a new release of the Trove periodicals repository in the #GLAMWorkbench, I had a thought – why not put all of the details of the cartoons in a little database and make it available using Datasette-Lite for easy exploration? So I did! https://updates.timsherratt.org/2024/03/19/a-new-way.html #histodons #digitalHumanities #GLAM @histodons #ozHist
