1 A Treasure Trove of Community Language Newspapers Hilary Berthon , 2020 single work criticism
— Appears in: The Transnational Voices of Australia’s Migrant and Minority Press 2020; (p. 209-224)

'Trove, the National Library of Australia’s discovery service for Australian content, comprises resources from disparate sources ranging from universities to local cultural and history groups. It also hosts a growing body of digitised and born-digital collections including fully text-searchable Australian newspapers, a subset of which are community language newspapers. Enabling “in context” discovery across a range of formats and collections, Trove allows patrons to interact with the resources, subject tagging, correcting machine-generated text and including annotations. This enhanced access to full-text newspapers has yielded not only time savings, but enabled new perspectives and types of analysis to be conducted. This chapter will focus on two themes—that of surfacing “hidden” intercultural stories and engaging communities in conversations around their documentary content—through Trove.'

1 A Plan for Australian Newspapers Hilary Berthon , 2010 single work essay
— Appears in: The National Library of Australia Magazine , September vol. 2 no. 3 2010; (p. 28-30)
‘Since the publication of the first newspaper in Australia in 1803, newspapers have occupied an important place in Australian life, providing both a unique commentary on and even shaping the communities in which they have been circulated. Australian newspapers have variously served as transmitters of government orders and regulations to providers of shipping news, agricultural reports, news of auctions and property sales, birth, deaths and marriages and advertisements. Both guiding and reflecting public opinion, they have served as political instrument and people’s advocate, commenting on matters of national importance and of the minutiae of daily life – generally with the commercial imperative to sell copies and stay afloat.’ (p. 28)
