Community collections funded for Trove website
Find historical copies of The Gilgandra Weekly on Trove
Australia’s much loved digital library Trove is inviting community-led, volunteer-run, and rural and regional collecting organisations across Australia to make their significant digital collections and data available and findable in Trove.
Following the budget announcement in April 2023, the National Library of Australia has announced that these organisations will not be asked to pay to showcase their digital content in Trove.
Assistant-director general, collaboration branch, Alison Dellit said, “The budget announcement has allowed the National Library to reduce the financial barrier that prevented small organisations from adding their content to Trove.
"Sharing local community stories is part of the magic of Trove and we look forward to inviting them to be part of the Trove community.”
Emma Crofts from the National Wool Museum in Geelong said, “The power and reach of hosting our collections online and linked in Trove is extremely significant. By raising awareness of the museum online we benefit from visitors sharing personal stories that helps us to further interpret, document and understand our collections.”
Historical copies (1911-1955) of The Gilgandra Weekly are available on Trove.
