Q - TROVE is a project by the National Library of Australia to digitise the nation's newspapers.

OzCatters Bodgie (aka Warren Fahey, folklorist, historian & performer) & Bob Bolton regularly use Trove - description from NLA website - Find and get over 347,696,715 Australian and online resources: books, images, historic newspapers, maps, music, archives and more.

I've also used it once or twice. I found an article in a 1950's newspaper about the first person to be collected by John Meredith, our first notable folksong collector & Bob tidied it up for me. I'll eventually be posting it on the Bush Music Club blog, probably Monday or Tuesday after I come back from a festival. I have articles on John & other early members of the folk revival on the blog if you want to check them out.
