    Trove is a discovery experience focused on Australia and Australians. It supplements what search engines provide. If you are researching in the fields of the social sciences, literature, local or family history, or need inspiration for your school assignment, then this is the tool for you. It is the most amazing FREE site and I use it to find so many things "Australian".

    Loved that showing this to my students meant I could show them that their small town of Kyabram is mentioned in National Library sources.

    I've found all of Museum Victoria's websites extremely useful. This is an interesting research tool for family histories.

    Thanks for the positive comments we built this resource with the express purpose of providing students and teachers with explicit examples of research and a scaffolded approach to historical enquiry We are adding to the resources and the aim is for the site to be interactive Would be happy to assist any school who would like to take on creating digital histories in 2013 - used in conjunction with Historypin http://www.historypin.com Jan
