Back in July 2011 I posted Trove’s digitisation schedule of historical Australian newspapers, now they have released an update on this list, and have included the schedule for newspapers in 2012-2013.

A number of the titles listed below are being digitised with the generous support and funding from a range of organisations. Details on how organisations and individuals can work with the National Library of Australia to digitise a specific newspaper title are available here.

On behalf of Australians and researchers of Australians worldwide I want to thank the wonderful, hardworking people at Trove and the National Library of Australia for the historical newspaper project.

It is huge, it is amazing, and what did we do before newspapers were online?

There are always some who ask for other papers that aren’t yet on the to do list and either they will come in time, or the NLA doesn’t have access to them. Alternatively, organise a group to fund a paper’s digitisation, and no doubt it will be done sooner. 🙂
