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.'
Fiona Crossan, Museum Curator & Coordinator at the Town of Claremont Museum WA said, 'Having on-line accessibility allows us to share the stories of our collection to a wider audience in new and unique ways.'
