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

If you would like to see your historic local newspaper made available check the list below to see which titles are intended to be digitised and made available during the 2011-2012 financial year.  If your newspaper is not there please see the National Library of Australia’s Contributor Guidelines which provides information about the processes and costs associated with sponsoring a local title.
