Description
Because the Alabama Department of Archives and History did not have a dedicated API endpoint or JSON output, I had to use Beautiful Soup and the CSS selectors mapped to each field to scrape the metadata for this project. This code is now deprecated as of fall 2020 when the ADAH upgraded to the latest version of ContentDM.
