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".
"Letter from the Mayor to the Earl of Kent, acknowledging his request of 20 Jan. for a force of 50 arbalesters for service against the Castle of Wallingford..." One of the richest repositories of primary sources. Read the proceedings of the Parliament during the Civil War or (depending on your Latin) records from the 13th century or look up the Ordnance maps from 1854.
