Bryce Ross kept the artist's name secret. Who was it sketching the gold diggings and looking to publish in #Melbourne or elsewhere?
Ross was an institution on the Victorian diggings in 1852. He reported weekly for the Melbourne Herald and his "Mems from the Mount [Alexander]" were reprinted in colonial newspapers. His office was at what is now Chewton near #Castlemaine. Ross was one of thousands of #SouthAustralia'ns on the diggings.
And why can't we find the artist's original field sketches?

S. T. Gill is arguably Australia's most recognisable colonial artist. The story of Gill's 1852 passage from #SouthAustralia to the #Victoria goldfields has been a confused one. But it can now be teased out with help of digitised newspapers and a database approach. Who he went with adds to a sense of story.

@wragge Taking @wragge 's #Trove newspaper issues by state and year (CSV), I further looked into the impact of the 1852 Victorian #goldRush on newspapers. (It was hard to get staff with so many at the diggings.) From this data there is a big impact on #SouthAustralia and #Victoria itself and a smaller impact on #Tasmania.

I followed this up, wondering if the gold rush shows up as a newspaper business disruption more broadly across #TroveAU.
I used @wragge ‘s #GLAMWorkBench to "Visualise the total number of newspaper articles in #Trove by year and state". I specified #1840s and #1850s as the date range. Attached workbench screenshot and chart showing a significant drop in articles in gold rush 1852.

Looks like an interesting webinar today (from the ALIA Digitisation & Preservation Group):
"Speakers from Trove, Wikimedia, and the Biodiversity Heritage Library discuss internal and external engagement for digitised collections. […] it is crucial to assess whether we effectively connect, communicate, and collaborate with others"
