A new look for Trove
The University of Adelaide is proud to be part of Trove. Our collections contribute to a network of libraries, archives, universities, museums, and galleries that make Australia’s history freely discoverable.
Created by the National Library of Australia, in consultation with Trove Partners and over 3,000 Australians, the new-look Trove is accessible and user-friendly, featuring a modern and intuitive design that makes it easier to explore, find and share stories about Australia. New measures have also been taken to improve the cultural safety of Trove for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
‘The collective power and importance of Australia’s cultural organisations is showcased in Trove,’ said Dr Marie-Louise Ayres, Director-General of the National Library of Australia. ‘It represents a unique partnership spanning across Australia. From local libraries to state galleries, each partner – including the University of Adelaide – contributes a unique set of stories and pieces of national history that make Trove wonderful and unique.’
