For people in NSW/ACT, this afternoon I'll be on ABC Radio's Drive around 4:05pm talking to Simon Marnie about the latest funding crisis threatening the National Library of Australia's Trove service #radio #libraries #saveTrove #TroveAU #fundTrove

It would an unspeakable outrage if the National Library of Australia was forced to close down the Trove digital archive from June 30 because of lack of government funding. #auspol #SaveTrove https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/jan/06/national-library-of-australias-free-digital-archives-may-be-forced-to-close-without-funding

Stop Cuts to the National Library of Australia & #SaveTrove

#Trove (https://trove.nla.gov.au/) is a collaboration between our National Library and hundreds of partner organisations around #Australia.

It is an irreplaceable digitised resource for researchers nationally and internationally that is under imminent threat due to finding cuts.

I hope to heaven @TroveAustralia can wait until January 30 - because there is so much at stake. We risk losing our history, identity, memory. #saveTrove @Tony_Burke @AlboMP

Trove has been invaluable for tracing long forgotten products and pharmacy businesses - probably couldn't have done half of it without Trove

#SaveTrove

Australia's national online treasure, Trove, will see a significant cut to services by the middle of 2023 if the National Library of Australia does not get sufficient funding for it from the Federal Government. This massive repository of digitised material and catalogues is not just an Australian resource - researchers (academic, professional hobbyists) from around the world use it. It is valued by people who do #FamilyHistory #genealogy #histodons #DigitalHumanities #DigitalHistory #OzHist

This is frightening! Trove is a highly valuable research tool that is the envy of rest of the world. It cannot be allowed to cease operation.

My latest with @bestqualitycrab on the troubles facing Trove, the NLA, and our national collecting institutions https://theconversation.com/troves-funding-runs-out-in-july-2023-and-the-national-library-is-threatening-to-pull-the-plug-its-time-for-a-radical-overhaul-197025 #saveTrove #fundTrove

A call out to all professional historians, history researchers, history nerds or anyone who loves to know about the past in Australia - a campaign to gain long term sufficient funding for the maintenance and expansion of Trove will be top priority in 2023.
