Trove

Trove helps you find and use resources from libraries all around Australia by bringing together content from libraries, museums, archives, repositories and other research and collecting organisations big and small. 

Trove also contains over half a million Australian digital resources which can be accessed at any time. 

Trove’s origins can be traced back to a project launched by the National Library of Australia in August 2008. Its aim was to build a portal for all of the Library’s online discovery services, including the Register of Australian Archives and Manuscripts, Picture Australia, Libraries Australia, Music Australia, Australia Dancing, PANDORA web archive, ARROW Discovery Service and the Australian Newspapers Beta service.

Within Trove you can discover:

  • Books
  • Images
  • Historic newspapers
  • Maps
  • Music 
  • Archives 
  • Websites
  • And so much more!
