Australian Newspapers: Historic Australian Newspapers, 1803 to 1954  migrated to Trove in 2010
78000 pages South Australian Advertiser(1901-1919) available in July 2009 & remainder of Argus up to 1945(1857-1915, 1933 -1945); public availability delivery schedule;  currently scanning Queenslander(1866-1939), Courier Mail(1934-1954), Launceston Examiner(1880-1954), SA Register(1836-1846), SA Advertiser & subsequent titles(1864-1949) with different contractors; scanning schedule; Many hands make light work: public collaborative OCR text correction in Australian Historic Newspapers; 14 July 2010: "There is a standalone version of Australian Newspapers (blue original interface) & a Trove version (green header). In 2009 we received positive feedback from users on having the ability to search across other content at the same time as newspapers. Therefore a plan to migrate the Australian Newspapers fully into Trove was developed. Trove searches millions of resources simultaneously. Users can also have the option to search across newspapers only. It was originally anticipated that the migration of Australian Newspapers into Trove would be fully complete by July 2010 and my previous messages on progress noted this. The migration is almost complete but final switch over and automated redirection from the blue version to the Trove version is not expected to happen until the end of this year now rather than next week. Up until very recently the 2 versions have had the same functionality, so it didn’t really matter which version a user was in. However because of the July migration plan the recent enhancement work to Australian Newspapers has been undertaken in the Trove version only.  Enhancements are mainly things that users requested in 2008 & 2009. There are now significant differences between the Trove version & the original standalone blue version which I am sure many users will want to be aware of.  Many users may wish to transfer from using the blue version to the Trove version now.  At the end of the year an automatic redirect will be in place & the blue version will no longer be accessible"; completion date for South Australian titles(Advertiser 1858-1954, Register 1836-1931) is now November 2010; 18 Nov 2010: 30m+articles now, 4m+ pages containing 40m articles will be online by mid-2011; 25 Mar 2011: now includes Sunday mail(Adelaide), 1912-1917, 1925-1929, 1931-1954;
