Digitised Newspapers

We are very pleased that more Queensland newspapers have just been added to Digitised newspapers and more on Trove.

Newspapers are a wonderful resource for both family and local history. You can search for a specific person or event or just take a leisurely browse through a few issues of your favourite newspaper. Correcting the text created by OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software is also a very satisfying and an incredibly worthwhile way to fill a few hours.

We wish you many hours of pleasure immersed in Queensland’s past.
