Information about Indigenous people, mainly in Victoria and the Northern Territory. The Melbourne Office holds Victorian records dating from 1860. The Archives also holds records on the development of Australian Government policies on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander affairs, as well as more recent records on the amendment of the 1967 Constitution to allow the Australian Government to legislate for all Aboriginal people.

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".

I only just discovered this site recently and like its potential as a newspaper archive.

This amazing site has a wealth of interesting material. "About Us: British Pathé is one of the oldest media companies in the world. Their roots lie in 1890s Paris where their founder, Charles Pathé, pioneered the development of the moving image. They were established in London in 1902, and by 1910 were producing their famous bi-weekly newsreel the Pathé Gazette. After the First World War they started producing various Cinemagazines as well. By 1930 they were producing the Gazette, the Pathetone Weekly, the Pathé Pictorial and Eve's Film Review, covering entertainment, culture and womens' issues. By the time Pathé finally stopped producing the cinema newsreel in 1970 they had accumulated 3500 hours of filmed history amounting to over 90,000 individual items. Over the last 30 years this material has been used extensively around the world in television programmes, home videos, advertisments, corporate productions and, most recently, in web publishing."
