This afternoon the failure notices have been rolling in for a series of GitHub actions that I've set up to automatically capture data about Trove. As well as powering things like the Newspaper Data Dashboard, these harvests were part of my attempt to capture the development of online GLAM collections so that future researchers would be able to examine their impact. I talk about that here: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2024/09/20/preserving-the-history.html
But because the NLA has cancelled my API keys, these harvests will not run, and the sequence of harvests will be broken, perhaps forever. #GLAM #digiPres
@wragge I'm sorry. This feels so sad and wrong.
@wragge obviously they prefer the service model where a few old people drop into the reading room from time to time to research their family history. NLA still stuck in 1970.
@wragge It really is such a shame... what a short-sighted move of theirs.
