My recent obsession with the #OscarMamen travel logs of his journey(s) to & time in #Mongolia #BogdKhanate, I wrangled data from a photo archive database.
For unknown reasons, the database doesn't have a field for "date". All date info is stored alongside content descriptions of the photos and their location in the physical archive in the free-text field "motive description".
To work through 7.500 photos + matching them to log entries, I re-taught myself #regex & @OpenRefine
