scrape_vhd

• Scrape the Victorian Heritage Register into an index and detail csv files. This is a two pass process. The first builds a CSV containing just the VHD placeId for heritage places in Yarra. The second pass scrapes each placeId and places summary info into the output file and also builds a directory of StatementOfSignificance HTML files. Each line in the summary CSV has a SOsHash that is the name of the file containing the statement in HTML format. These can be linked together by a web app. Depends of Tablula-win-1.2.1
