I've written a little post about the National Library of Australia's collection of archived websites in Pandora and the new #GLAMWorkbench section that helps you to work with the data.
Want to find websites from Australian elections back to 1996? Just go to Pandora. Want all the urls in a spreadsheet? Just run my new notebook.

My "day job" is working at the Flickr Foundation helping nurture and grow Flickr Commons. We're approaching a milestone, re-opening the doors to Flickr Commons, a collection of photography all of which have no known copyright restrictions, open since 2008 and comprised of nearly two million photos.
Do you work for a GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) institution that might want to be part of it? If so, please read our main post and send us your details. 🤩
@jessamyn can the form be made open? It takes me to the Google sign in first - for my old job where I have no access to that K12 Google account. I'd like to share this #GLAM outreach!
Inside the world of hidden #Renaissance portraits: ‘It’s very playful’
A new exhibition at #theMet looks at the practice of hiding portraits 🖼 attached to other portraits and the many reasons artists 👩🎨 chose to be secretive with their work
'Labels from some of the world’s leading art, science, and natural history museums were evaluated next to volunteer-run institutions, local historical societies, zoos, and aquaria. The diversity of voices in those submissions is something that sticks with me in my museum practice to this day. The online archive offers over a decade of excellent labels and expert commentary about them.'
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.
How can we use #MachineLearning techniques to analyze the impact of the industrial revolution and its technologies on human life? @mia (British Library) & Kaspar Beelen (School of Advanced Study, University of London) explore this question in this week's #DigitalHistoryOFK by looking at one of the biggest #DigitalHumanities projects in the UK: #LivingWithMachines. Not to be missed!

Ok, draft Zotero translator for PROV collection is capturing item metadata, a link to generate a PDF, a link to IIIF manifest, saving the first page image (if digitised). Anything else that would be useful?
An Archives qualification isn’t explicitly mentioned, though experience organizing and describing cultural heritage is essential. The role is based in London, hybrid is fine, remote work is considered.
This is going to be such a fun, creative role - I hope we’ll see some unconventional applicants!
Today's the day, Flickr Commons' sixteenth birthday! 🎉
We did an Explore takeover on Flickr.com. Browse through nearly five hundred photos from galleries, libraries, archives and museums, just scratching the surface of the growing collection of over 1.5 million images. Let us know if you have favorites.
