(UFOs – Documenting The Evidence, Melbourne, Australia)
Quote from the article:
“The National Library of Australia (NLA) maintains
endeavour named ‘Trove’ which is an online library ‘database aggregator’ and ‘free
faceted-search engine.’ Trove brings together content from libraries,
newspapers, museums and other research organisations and helps users explore
them. In the NLA’s own words:
‘Trove helps you find resources about Australia and
by Australians. We do this by collecting information from many organisations
around the world. This information about resources, also known as metadata, is
processed for easy searching through the Trove website…’
For Australian UFO researchers, Trove’s digitised
newspaper section is the thing most invaluable. The NLA says:
‘The digitised newspaper zone is the most heavily-used
part of Trove, and no wonder – more than 100 million newspaper articles,
documenting more than 150 years of Australian history. And it’s growing all the
time. All digitised, all free, all for you.’
Recently, nearly a dozen new newspapers – some dating
from 1915 – have been added to the archive. And they are absolutely jam-packed
with articles, editorials and opinion pieces about UFO’s, especially reports of
UFO events that are completely new to us.”
