It’s been a while since I did a Trove newspapers update, so this is rather overdue, and covers historical Australian newspapers scanned and online on Trove from August 2019 through to today (22 April 2020).

The Australian historical newspaper collection online grows, thanks to those who ‘sponsor’ papers to be digitsed as well as the newspaper digitisation team at the National Library of Australia. The State Library of Western Australia has ‘sponsored’ a lot, so there are heaps of new Western Australian titles listed.

Since my last update back in July 2019, Trove has added over 2.5 million more newspaper scans to their collection, taking the current total to a whopping 227,321,619. That’s right … over 227 MILLION pages … online … and free for everyone. So what are you waiting for? There’s millions of amazing stories just waiting to be discovered.

Here’s the list the titles they’ve released over the past few months, as well as those that are coming soon.
