Trove books (NLA)

The National Library of Australia's discovery service for books, newspapers, images, and Australian material, spanning billions of items. You can search it on the Trove website, or through its API with a free key. It is the principal resource for Australian published and historical material; note this covers books and catalogue records, not web-archive captures.

API key required

Por qué es útil y cómo funciona

Trove is the essential starting point for anything published in or about Australia: it aggregates books, newspapers, photographs, maps, and manuscripts from around 900 Australian collecting institutions. You can search the books and catalogue category on the Trove website or, with a free API key obtained from the NLA, query it programmatically. The newspaper archive, with over 29 million digitised pages, is particularly rich and widely used by historians and genealogists.

Qué contiene
