What do you want to do with Trove data?
Source: Tim Sherratt |
Reading time: 1 minutes
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.
I have some ideas, of course, about the types of tutorials and examples to include in each pathway, but I’m wondering what you would like to see. What would you like to be able to do with Trove data?
You might get some inspiration by browsing through what’s already in the Trove Data Guide and the GLAM Workbench, or perhaps you have a research question that’s foundered because you couldn’t get the data you needed out of Trove. If you have any ideas please share them via the TDG’s ideas board. This is a chance to get some of your gnarly Trove data problems solved!
Note that the TDG links in this post go to the development version, which changes frequently. There is also a published version that doesn’t include the latest content.
Update! Saving Trove newspaper articles and pages as images
Source: Tim Sherratt |
Reading time: 2 minutes
You probably know that when you select the Download as Image option for a digitised newspaper article in Trove what you get back is not actually an image – it’s an HTML document, in which the original image has been sliced up to try and fit on an A4 page when printed. So this article:
Ends up looking like this!!
So what do you do when you just want an image of an article as it appeared in the newspaper? Some years ago I figured out a workaround that involves scraping the OCR positional data that’s embedded in Trove’s newspaper viewer and cropping the article from a high-resolution image of the page. The method is documented in the GLAM Workbench and the Trove Data Guide, and I’ve packaged up the code in trove-newspapers-images so you can embed it in your own projects.
I also created a…

Parmi les Italiens qui se sont installés au Luxembourg figurent de nombreux militants politiques. Si les communistes font l’objet d’études, de recherches et de publications, la présence, le rôle et les activités des anarchistes sont peu connus. Le propos de cette intervention est de donner les éléments pour une meilleure connaissance de cette présence des anarchistes au Luxembourg, en la replaçant dans le contexte de la circulation des anarchistes italiens pour qui, alors qu’ils sont souvent forcés à l’exil et expulsés des démocraties européennes, le Luxembourg, notamment la ville d’Esch-sur-Alzette, est un point de passage obligé sur les routes européennes.

textile – digital

Textiles are material objects, which are produced according to well-planned processes. Such a procedural nature favours multiple analogies between textiles and digitality – and raises, at the same time, resistance to these very associations. Weaving has become, in current discourse, a convenient ancestor of computing. By connecting computer history to a material craft, textiles offer

Obituary: Jon Arild Olsen 1965–2024
Written by colleagues at the National Library of Norway
It is with great sadness that we received the message that Jon Arild Olsen passed away on March 16, 2024, after long-term illness.
He was the coordinator of the Norwegian Language Bank at the National Library of Norway and involved in multiple international language technology research initiatives, among them CLARIN. Jon Arild was also the Norwegian national delegate to the CLARIN General Assembly for many years.
Jon Arild was a humanist at heart as a scholar of French philology. He earned his PhD in French literature studies at the University of Oslo in 2002, with a dissertation on the theory of the novel. He later worked in the research administration at the University of Oslo until he joined the National Library of Norway in 2009, where he became the head of the research department in 2011. He was in later years very inspired by the advances within digital humanities and language technology and he also published within these areas.
Jon Arild was a true European and believer in international cooperation, having lived in France for many years. He had friends everywhere and was surrounded by an aura of calmness, rationality and humour, which we will deeply miss.

A new way to explore editorial cartoons from *The Bulletin*
Source: Tim Sherratt |
Reading time: 1 minutes
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. The details of the collection and how I created it are available in the Trove periodicals section of the GLAM Workbench.
Last night, as I was tidying up a new release of the Trove periodicals repository, 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.
Try it now!
One of the coolest new features is that I’ve harvested the OCRd text from each page containing a cartoon and created a full-text index. This means you can find cartoons by searching for words in their captions! Other features include embedded thumbnail images and links to download high-resolution versions of each page image.
In creating the database, I realised there were a few problems with the original metadata (dodgy page numbers), so I’ve fixed that up as well. I’ve also moved the mega zip download of every image (over 60gb) from the unfortunately deceased CloudStor service to AWS.

Source: C2DH | Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History |
Reading time: 1 minutes
History, heritage, and games: three steps taken on a journey through time. The talk will begin with an examination of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (PLC) historical past. It will then introduce a framework of multiple heritage discourses that shape the collective memory of the PLC in 21st-century Poland. The framework explains the diversity of mental models used for worldbuilding and narrative design in Polish heritage narratives. All this leads to a demonstration of how these elements manifest in PLC-based game settings.
Michał Mochocki (PhD in Literature, Dr. habil. in Culture Studies), serves as the Executive Editor of the European Historical Game Studies journal, and works as an Associate Professor at Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland. His primary research interest is historical role-playing games, which he examines from the angles of transmedia narratology and heritage studies. He worked as Lead Writer on the BEAST: False Prophet video game.

Digital history stream at AHA annual conference in July

Reading time: 1 minutes
This year the annual conference of the Australian Historical Association will include a digital history stream, sponsored by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC), and convened by me!
The call for papers is available here or through the Conference website. The list of possible topics is deliberately broad and inclusive – if you’re using digital tools or methods in the organisation, analysis, and visualisation of historical data we’d love to hear from you. Proposals are due on 23 February and can be submitted through the Conference website.
We’re particularly keen for HDR and ECR scholars to be involved. To help meet registration and travel costs, the ARDC is funding up to four $1000 bursaries. More details are available here. Bursary applications close on 31 March.
There’s also likely to be a digital history workshop, as well as updates on the work of the HASS & Indigenous Research Data Commons and ARDC Community Data Lab, including the Trove Data Guide.
Time is short! Get your proposals in now! Contact me at tim@timsherratt.au if you have any questions.

Femmes en diplomatie – histoire, trajectoires, défis

Reading time: 5 minutes
Alors qu’elles constituent la moitié du genre humain, les femmes ont été longtemps absentes du récit transnational du passé et invisibles dans la sphère des relations internationales. La professionnalisation de la diplomatie au XIXe siècle a fait de ce domaine un bastion du pouvoir masculin où l’accès des femmes ne fut qu’aléatoire et discrétionnaire. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la reconnaissance par l’ONU des droits des femmes (1946) sensibilise progressivement les opinions publiques et incite les États à l’action politique. La construction européenne est rythmée par l’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes, inscrite d’abord dans les Traité de Rome (1957) et devenue, avec le Traité de Maastricht (1992), une valeur fondamentale et une priorité de l’UE, car les discriminations perdure…

CLARIN and Libraries 2023: A Recap
In May 2022, the first CLARIN and Libraries took place in the Hague, Netherlands. The aim was to bring together the CLARIN community and national and academic libraries to present and discuss content delivery systems for researchers. The motivation for the workshop was the sense that various, mostly national, projects were disconnected from each other and also disconnected from research infrastructures such as CLARIN. The workshop resulted in a mailing list, blog post, keynote and a panel discussion at the 2022 CLARIN Annual Conference, two poster presentations, the CENL Dialogue Forum ‘National libraries as data’ and, finally, the plan to organise a second iteration of CLARIN and Libraries, to be hosted in Norway.

The biography of heritage relations in historical research
Source: C2DH | Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History |
Reading time: 2 minutes
The understanding of heritage greatly depends on its broad functions and use. Depending on their roles in specialist knowledge domains and society at large, heritage objects are categorized as either material or immaterial; static or dynamic; historical or contemporary in nature. For example, in societal debates, heritage needs to be fluid, debatable, even contestable, while scientists of the past seek the robustness of historical sources in order to create a valid reconstruction of aspects of the past.
In this workshop, we are not going to make things easier. Approaching the matter from the domain of critical heritage theory, we find that heritage is best understood as an ongoing forging and recasting of relationships. These relations present themselves as connections between present and …

#JobOpening Assistant Professor for Digital Humanities in the Study of Religion – Ruhr University Bochum
The Center for Religious Studies at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, seeks a scholar for an appointment as Assistant Professor (W1, tenure track W2). The future position holder is expected to represent the field of Digital Humanities in the study of religion in research and teaching. In particular, the aim is to further develop research questions of the Digital Humanities in relation to religion and to introduce the methods of the Digital Humanities into religious studies education.
A background in religious studies is not a prerequisite. Given a general interest in getting involved in religion-related collaborative research, applications from people with a background in digital humanities or other humanities, cultural studies or social science subjects are welcome. Due to the interdisciplinary context in Bochum, the professorship offers a particular opportunity to strengthen the area of non-European and/or historical languages in the Digital Humanities and to stimulate the field of #MultilingualDH.
More details about the position and application procedure can be found at https://jobs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/jobposting/8c4b276c0e75e597169c5082e2051ca7e51870120.
