The National Library of Australia is making it easier for Trove Partner organisations to provide inter-library loan and document copying services to their patrons in a way that is fast, efficient and reaches new audiences.
Making it possible for local community collections to be part of Trove 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.
Applications are now open for the 2023 Community Heritage Grants (CHG) program. The CHG program offers cash grants of up to $20,000 to community organisations. The grants support organisations to preserve and manage collections that have Australian cultural and historical significance.
