This CSV file contains data exported from the Collecting the West nodegoat database, as of 12 February 2024. It includes records for more than 10,000 indigenous objects and natural history specimens collected in Western Australia during the 18th, 19th, and earlier 20th centuries. Many of these are now held in museum collections in the United Kingdom, the United States, and European countries. The data are not yet publicly available, since the Collecting the West project is in the process of confirming access arrangements and visibility policies with the numerous institutions who provided records from their collection databases. Public access to 26 essays about specific items from the Collecting the West database is available here: https://nodegoat.collectingthewest.net/viewer.p/1/3/scenario/5/grid/
