An overview of a new service called Trove (as in Treasure Trove). The service was released at the end of 2009 by the National Library of Australia. It is a free search service. Our aim is to make finding and getting information easier. The Trove service searches across a rich data repository which currently contains 90 million items from over 1000 Australian libraries and other organisations, and it’s growing in size.

Investigation of this kind is original In the best sense; it not only produces a sub- stantive addition to" our stock of know- ledge, but gives the student invaluable training in the art of collecting and ar- ranging his material.
