Scanned many millions of newspapers for National Library of Australia

DatacomIT has assisted the National Library of Australia with scanning many millions of newspaper pages for Trove.

In late 2014 DatacomIT proudly digitised a number of Chinese- Australian newspapers that are now loaded to Trove.

Now available on Trove are three of the earliest known Chinese-Australian newspapers.

• The Chinese Australian Herald, 1894-1923 (Guang yi hua bao),
• Chinese Times, 1902-1922 (Meilibin bu ai guo bao) and
• The Chinese Advertiser (1856) which was later to become one of the first Australian bilingual newspapers, The English and Chinese Advertiser (1856-8).
