National Library of Australia and Trove

National Library of Australia & Trove

We have run several editathons and training with National Library of Australia, including a session to create Wikipedia pages about the archived newspapers available in Trove in 2013.

Between 2018-2020, Wikimedia Australia was represented on the Trove Consultative Committee by our President, Pru Mitchell.

Trove is also incredibly important to us because of the amount of Australian content they make available online. Read more about why we love Trove here.
