If you find yourself with spare time over the holiday period you might like to consider participating in this important project by correcting some of the electronically translated text. The errors in translation have occurred due to the poor quality of the original newspapers but the work of hundreds of volunteers has greatly assisted in improving the accuracy of the text. Guidelines for participating are available: http://trove.nla.gov.au/general/participating-in-digitised-newspapers-faq/#Correct
