The collection of old Australian newspapers available to view online on Trove continues to grow. While they’re not scanning as quickly as they have in the past, they are still progressing, so for that, we are all very, very thankful.
During the past few months Trove has added over millions of new records to their collection, including thousands more from old newspapers, taking the current total of old newspapers records to a whopping 220,950,426! That’s right … over 220 MILLION records.
All online, and all free for anyone, anywhere in the world to use.
Here’s the list the titles they’ve released over the past few months, as well as those that are coming soon.
