If you have ever needed to undertake historical research on Australian content, you have likely needed the National Library of Australia's digital service Trove.

#Trove is currently under threat of defunding.

Trove is an online archive that provides access to a huge range of archives free to all Australians. It is the memory house for the nation and imperative for researchers, genealogists, family historians and students. It receives 20 million hits a year and is a vital part of Australian heritage.

Currently, funding for Trove expires in July 2023.

Please sign this Federal Parliamentary petition calling for its full funding: https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN4747
