Recently digitised files in the National Archives of Australia

New! View the National Archives of Australia Digitisation Dashboard for a summary of recently digitised files.

This repository scrapes a list of recently digitised files from the NAA's RecordSearch database. It's currently scheduled to run each Sunday, saving a list of files that have been digitised in the previous week. The weekly datasets are saved as CSV files in the data directory. The date of the harvest is recorded in the file name, so digitised-week-ending-20210328.csv was harvested on 28 March 2021.

The CSV files contain the following fields:

• title
• item_id
• series
• control_symbol
• date_range
• date_digitised

A dataset containing annual compilations of the weekly harvests is available from Zenodo.

More information can be found in the RecordSearch section of the GLAM Workbench.
