I can't remember if I ever did an #intro post, but it's probably out of date anyway. I'm a historian who has spent much of the last couple of decades working in & around the #GLAM sector, building #open tools & resources to help other historians do interesting things with digital collections. I used to be Associate-Professor of Digital Heritage at Uni of Canberra, and Manager of #Trove at NLA. Now I suppose I'm semi retired, though busier than ever working on my own projects and sometimes on consultancies/contracts.
My main projects at the moment are the #GLAMWorkbench and the #TroveDataGuide, which bring together a whole lot of tools, hacks, documentation etc assembled over many years. This sort of practical stuff fits into my broader research interests around the nature of this thing we call 'access'. There's more on my newly-updated website at https://timsherratt.au .

Updated the issues lists for the #GLAMWorkbench (https://github.com/GLAM-Workbench/glam-workbench.github.io/issues) and the #TroveDataGuide (https://github.com/wragge/trove-data-guide/issues) to try and set some priorities for the next 6 months...

So there's now a DOI for the #TroveDataGuide: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12216708
And also for the source code: https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.12216552
ZenodoTrove Data GuideThe Trove Data Guide explores the different types of data available from Trove – what it is, how you can access it, and what you can do with it. It aims to give researchers a critical understanding of Trove data, both its limits and its possibilities.
Wrote up a quick post about the last (for now) of the #TroveDataGuide tutorials I've been working on. This one gets data about digitised maps in #Trove and uses it to create a layer in the Gazetteer of Australian Historical Placenames (GHAP). https://updates.timsherratt.org/2024/06/18/loading-locations-of.html #GLAM #digitalHumanities #histodons #maps
updates.timsherratt.org · Loading locations of Trove's digitised maps into the Gazetteer of Historical Australian PlacenamesFor this part of the ARDC’s Community Data Lab project, I’ve been focusing in particular on adding a series of researcher pathways to the Trove Data Guide. These pathways link data from Trove to a variety of tools and approaches and include five detailed tutorials. The first four were:
Analysing keywords in Trove’s digitised newspapers Working with a Trove collection in Tropy Comparing manuscript collections in Mirador Sharing a Trove List as a CollectionBuilder exhibition I’ve now added the fifth and final (for now) tutorial:
For all the things you want to know about #Trove that the NLA won't tell you, head to the #TroveDataGuide. Sometime in the next week or two I'll be finishing off the current version: https://wragge.github.io/trove-data-guide/home.html
wragge.github.ioTrove Data Guide — Trove Data Guide
Done! Another #TroveDataGuide tutorial drafted. This one walks you through creating a dataset of digitised maps from #Trove and uploading them to a layer in the Gazetteer of Historical Australian Placenames. https://wragge.github.io/trove-data-guide/pathways/geospatial/maps-to-ghap.html #GLAM #digitalHumanities
Plan for next #TroveDataGuide tutorial (ie today's job): show how to use the notebook I created yesterday to create a subset of geolocated digitised maps from #Trove, then add the map data as a layer in the Gazetteer of Historical Australian Places... #GLAMDataPlumbing
Ok, here's the first draft of a #TroveDataGuide tutorial that puts all the #Trove, #IIIF, and #Mirador stuff together: find a digitised manuscript collection --> save as an IIIF manifest --> build a customised Mirador instance and load the manifests --> explore. https://wragge.github.io/trove-data-guide/pathways/images/mirador.html #GLAM #histodons #digitalHumanities

Currently working on a tutorial to go from a digitised manuscript finding aid in #Trove to a personalised Mirador workspace. #TroveDataGuide
Quick post about the Trove-->IIIF-->Tropy tutorial I just added to the #TroveDataGuide. https://updates.timsherratt.org/2024/05/21/trove-to-tropy.html #GLAM #digitalHumanities #histodons
updates.timsherratt.org · Trove to Tropy via IIIF – documenting data pathways in the Trove Data GuideLast week I added a notebook to the GLAM Workbench that saves a collection of images from Trove as an IIIF manifest. This week I’ve written a tutorial that shows how you can use the notebook to load the collection data in Tropy – a desktop tool for managing and annotating images for research.
This is the first tutorial in the Trove Data Guide’s Research Pathways section. While most of the TDG documents the types of data available in Trove and how you can access it, the pathways aim to connect Trove data with other tools and platforms – to point at possibilities for analysis, enrichment, and sharing.
Finished a draft of a tutorial for the #TroveDataGuide. It walks you through the complete process of exporting a #Trove collection as an @IIIF manifest, and then importing the manifest into @tropy, where you can re-organise, annotate, & transcribe the collection. https://wragge.github.io/trove-data-guide/pathways/images/tropy.html #WIP #GLAM #digitalHumanities #histodons
I've written up some details of the new #GLAMWorkbench notebook that helps you download images from #Trove collections. Includes some notes about why it was necessary, how it works, and how it relates to the #TroveDataGuide. https://updates.timsherratt.org/2024/04/24/how-to-download.html #GLAM #digitalHumanities #histodons
updates.timsherratt.org · How to download all the images from a digitised collection in Trove (& learn some cool Trove tricks)Digitised resources in Trove are sometimes grouped into collections – an album of photographs, a set of posters, a bundle of letters. I’ve just added a notebook to the GLAM Workbench that downloads all the images in a collection at the highest available resolution.
A sample of the 3,048 posters download from nla.obj-2590804313
Why is it necessary? Trove’s digitised collection viewer includes a download option. But in most cases that seems to be limited to downloading 20 images at a time.
What would you like to do with data from #Trove? I'm currently working on tutorials for the #TroveDataGuide and would like more examples of things you'd like to do for your research, but you're not quite sure how to find and connect the data and the tools. https://updates.timsherratt.org/2024/04/18/what-do-you.html #GLAM #histodons #digitalHumanities
updates.timsherratt.org · What do you want to do with Trove data?In my work on the Trove Data Guide I’ve started sketching out a series of research pathways. These are intended as ways of connecting Trove data to tools and questions – providing examples of the steps involved in gathering, preparing, and using data to explore particular research topics.
I’ve currently defined six pathways, roughly based on different types of data that you can get from Trove:
Text Images Structured data Maps and places Networks and relationships Creating collections ‘Creating collections’ is a bit different I suppose, as it’s meant to relate to the work of assembling research collections from data in Trove – for example, creating a collection of annotated newspaper articles in Omeka.
What do you want to do with #Trove data? Help me figure out what examples and tutorials to include in the #TroveDataGuide's research pathways section. Any Trove data dreams, frustrations, or late-night musings you'd like to share? This is a chance to get some of your gnarly Trove data problems solved! https://updates.timsherratt.org/2024/04/18/what-do-you.html Please share... #GLAM #histodons #digitalHumanities @histodons
