This repository contains the code for all aspects of Stuyvesant's Spanish Civil War Archives. Included is the code for the original webscraper, the website, the biographies of the volunteers, and the backend interface for seamlessly updating it.
The repository includes the original webscraping code that allowed us to find the New Yorkers who volunteered in the Spanish Civil War. It pulls and compiles the data from http://www.alba-valb.org/
Contained within the folder scraping:
data.txt: Contains all the volunteers from NYC and their data.names.txt: Contains just the names of the volunteers.stuy_volunteers.txt: Contains the names of volunteers that may have gone to Stuyvesant High School.scraper.py: A script that pulled the data from http://www.alba-valb.org/ and analyzed it, writing the volunteers from NYC todata.txt.stuy_finder.py: Finds the volunteers that may have gone to Stuyvesant High School. Depends on a filestuy_graduates.csvthat I can't release.
Fairly straightforward. Can be visited here: https://scwnyc.stuy.edu/. The archive page contains all the information for the volunteers.
For all intents and purposes a fancy GUI wrapper for git in this very specific case.
Requires: Python2.7 (Will eventually be ported to Python3)
