Trove Resources information

Another notch in the "dumbing down of society belt"!!

Grrrr

One can only hope they get eaten and choked on by the other pigs in the trough and they are all deposited back to the earth as a more worthwhile matter!

P.S. Obviously not talking about the good folk of the National Library!

P.S.S. RIP Trove 8.(

Yep. Its surely a sad state of things. Not just worthwhile government funded projects but the economy in general - as you said Heatho 'the rich get richer' and the poor get something resembling welfare after the pollies give themselves a pat on the back for being so generous . While the tax payers in the middle get to pay for it up and down the line.

So much for the age of technology and easy access to information.

Not just cut as in slowed down, as in no new additions and their staff sacked.
Damn. I really enjoyed looking up stuff I was interested in and getting the emails that stuff I requested had been added, usually within days

Yup! and unrelated stuff that just catches your eye and will haunt you for a while.....

Great news. Trove has added a whole dimension to my gold detecting. Apart from the research value of trove for finding gold spots, Trove has many stories of the diggers, the murders and the life on the goldfields in general that helps the areas I detect on come to life. In some cases I can recognise the exact location of pub tents, shops, tragic incidents and specific dig sites where certain characters worked, all because they were written up in local newspapers in the 1850's-60's and digitised on to trove.

If any members have not looked at trove do yourself a favour and have a browse and search.
