Family History Tips and Tools Discussion Circle

Convenor: Rebecca Landy

Our Tips & Tools forum examines the sources of family history information and explores how to use them more effectively.

Using TROVE to enhance your family stories

The Trove website run by the Australian National Library is the place to explore amazing collections from Australian libraries, universities, museums, galleries and archives. It’s free and available online all day, every day. Everything you would find on a visit to a library or museum can be found in Trove. It brings together billions of pieces of information. 

You can search for digital copies of newspapers, Government Gazettes, maps, magazines and newsletters. Or books, pictures, photographs, archived websites, music and interviews. Even information about famous Australians, including copies of letters, diaries and personal archives. All this and more is available to view on Trove or Trove Partner websites. 

Rod Van Cooten has been using the website for many years and will show us how to best explore the website and extract information to assist us with our family history research.
