Trove serves as a metadata aggregator for over 6 billion items in Australian collections, suggesting a valuable resource for historians.
Hosted by the National Library of Australia, Trove is a search engine and metadata aggregator for more than 6 billion items in collections held by libraries, museums and archives around Australia. Aimed at both the public and professional historians, Trove is freely available and features an easy-to-use interface with highly customisable search and filter options. For historians the most valuable categories are ‘Newspapers and Gazettes’ and ‘Magazines and Newsletters’, which contain full-text, searchable copies of publications from Australia and the Pacific from 1803 onwards. While of primary interest to scholars of Australasia and the Pacific, the extensive range of materials included in Trove make it a useful source for modern historians more generally.
