In 2000 the Federation of Australian Historical Societies commissioned Bronwyn Wilson to prepare a training guide for historical societies on the collection of cultural materials. Its purpose was to advise societies on the need to gather and collect contemporary material of diverse types for the benefit of future generations of researchers. The material that she discussed was essentially in hard copy format, but under the heading of ‘Electronic Media’ Bronwyn included a discussion of video tape, audio tape and the internet. Fast forward to 2018 and we inhabit a very different world because of the digital revolution. Today a very high proportion of the information generated in our technologically-driven society is created and distributed digitally, from emails to publications to images. Increasingly, collecting organisations are making their data available online, so that the modern researcher can achieve much by simply sitting at home on their computer and accessing information via services such as Trove and the increasing body of government and private material that is becoming available on the web. This creates both challenges and opportunities for historical societies.

  • State Library Victoria Receives Extraordinary Rare Book Donation
    State Library Victoria receives extraordinary rare book donation State Library Victoria receives the “most significant donation of rare books in its 160 year history” More than 5000 rare books estimated at over $5 million with an endowment of over $1.3 million State Library Victoria is honoured to receive one of the world’s great rare book collections from the late John Emmerson QC. An Oxford physicist and later a Melbourne barrister, John Emmerson dedicated over 40 years to amassing one of the most significant collections of early modern printed books and pamphlets in the world. The extraordinary collection encompasses more than 5000 rare printed books spanning over 400 years from the 15th to the 18th century, including political, religious, philosophical and literary works. Among the treasures are King Charles I’s own personal copy of his father King James’ writings, a 15th century Nuremburg bible belonging to Archbishop of Canterbury William Juxon (who offered last rites to King Charles I), some of the world’s earliest newspapers, and editions of many literary greats. This is considered to be one of the largest and most valuable collections of rare English books and printed materials surrounding the King Charles I era and the English Civil War of the 1640s, with the only comparable collections belonging to the British Library and Oxford’s Bodleian Library. State Library Victoria’s History of the Book Manager Des Cowley says: “The rare book collection donated by John Emmerson is quite simply the most significant ever received by the State Library in its 160 year history.” “From treasures that belonged to King Charles himself to pamphlets documenting his trial and execution, to illustrated early editions of works by John Milton and other literary greats, the collection is significant not just for the sheer quantity but the quality of the works – who they belonged to and how beautifully they’ve been maintained,” he says.

  • 'GETTING' BETTER Author: Rose Holley, Manager
    RESOURCE SHARING IN AUSTRALIA: FIND AND GET IN TROVE – MAKING ‘GETTING’ BETTER Author: Rose Holley, Manager - Trove, National Library of Australia [email protected] Conference Paper - ALIA Information Online 2011: 1-3 February 2011, Sydney, Australia 5000 words Final Version: 7 January 2011 ABSTRACT Trove http://trove.nla.gov.au is the National Australian discovery service focusing on Australia and Australians, launched at the end of 2009. It has been created and is managed by the National Library of Australia. Trove harvests metadata from over 1000 Australian libraries and other cultural heritage institutions and organisations, giving the public free access to over 100 million items. A guiding principle of Trove is ‘Find and Get’. The first principle to ‘find’ has been achieved well. A user can find a wealth of information and format types in a single search, aggregated from many sources. The relevance ranking and zoning of results makes finding quick and easy. Therefore the focus of the Trove team for the latter half of 2010 and into 2011 has been to improve the ‘get’ options. This paper gives an overview of how ‘getting’ has been improved so far, current work underway, and ideas for the future. ‘Get’ includes buy, borrow (national loans), copy, digital view, print on demand and digitise on demand. __________________________________________________________________________ 1. OVERVIEW Trove http://trove.nla.gov.au, the Australian discovery service focused on Australia and Australians, was launched in late 2009 by the National Library of Australia (NLA). Trove harvests metadata from over 1000 Australian libraries and other cultural heritage organisations, allowing free public access to over 100 million items.
