Entry is by name of person, Place of occupation, age, religion, occupation, literacy, arrival ship and date. Details of marriage, wife and children and employer are given.\n\nThe Western Australian Biographical Index (WABI) is a highly used resource at the State Library of Western Australia. A recent generous contribution by the Friends of Battye Library (FOBS) has enabled SLWA to have the original handwritten index cards scanned and later transcribed.\n\nThe dataset contains: several csv files with data describing card number, card text and url link to image of the original handwritten card.\nThe transcription was crowd-sourced and we are aware that there are some data quality issues including:\n\n* Some cards are missing\n* Transcripts are crowdsourced so may contain spelling errors and possibly missing information\n* Some cards are crossed out. Some of these are included in the collection and some are not\n* Some of the cards contain relevant information on the back (usually children of the person mentioned). This info should be on the next consecutive card\n* As the information is an index, collected in the 1970s from print material, it is incomplete. It is also unreferenced.\n\nIt is still a very valuable dataset as it contains a wealth of information about early settlers in Western Australia. It is of particular interest to genealogists and historians\n", "source": "data.wa.gov.au", "info_url": "https://catalogue.data.wa.gov.au/dataset/ff75fbbd-7b4d-4c1c-a946-2c5fe3073b8c", "start_date": "", "end_date": "", "file_title": "York and districts subset", "download_url": "https://catalogue.data.wa.gov.au/dataset/ff75fbbd-7b4d-4c1c-a946-2c5fe3073b8c/resource/908c0417-e1a4-4cb7-84ae-ad06466508bd/download/york-final.csv", "format": "CSV", "file_description": "This csv has three columns with the headings card number, card text and url.", "file_created": "2016-07-28T07:58:03.144712", "file_modified": "2016-07-28T07:58:03.094319", "file_size": "", "licence": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0"} {"rowid": 982, "dataset_title": "Digital Photographic Collection", "publisher": "State Library of Western Australia", "author": "Author Not Specified", "dataset_issued": "2016-07-25T03:53:22.224986", "dataset_modified": "2022-05-25T18:46:16.346659", "dataset_description": "50,000 digital photographs in which copyright has expired with bibliographic data and links to persistent URL of the digital image from the State Library of Western Australia Catalogue.\n\nWe're delighted to announce this dataset was used in the prize winning GovHack 2016 competition entry, Colourful Past. https://2016.hackerspace.govhack.org/content/colourful-past \n\nThe team summarized their entry thus: Colourful Past aims to create an immediate and lasting connection to our shared past, by giving you a channel to browse recorded in library or archive imagery.
