trove-newspaper-issues

This dataset contains information about the published issues of newspapers digitised and made available through Trove. The data was harvested from the Trove API, using this notebook in the GLAM Workbench.

There are two data files:

newspaper_issues_totals_by_year.csv – the total number of newspaper issues per year for each digitised newspaper

newspaper_issues.csv – a complete list of newspaper issues available from Trove

newspaper_issues_totals_by_year.csv

The dataset contains the following columns:

Column
Contents

title
newspaper title

title_id
newspaper id

state
place of publication

year
year published

issues
number of issues

newspaper_issues.csv

The dataset contains the following columns:

Column
Contents

title
newspaper title

title_id
newspaper id

state
place of publication

issue_id
issue identifier

issue_date
date of publication (YYYY-MM-DD)

To keep the file size down, I haven't included an issue_url in this dataset, but these are easily generated from the issue_id. Just add the issue_id to the end of http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-issue. For example: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-issue495426. Note that when you follow an issue url, you actually get redirected to the url of the first page in the issue.
