Add your group's history to National Library of Australia's treasure Trove

The National Library of Australia is inviting community groups, volunteer organisations and rural and regional collecting organisations to use the service for free.

Assistant-director general of collection Alison Dellit said removing costs would allow more groups to contribute to the digital library.

"Sharing local community stories is part of the magic of Trove and we look forward to inviting them to be part of the Trove community," she said.

Emma Crofts from Geelong's National Wool Museum said the ability to use Trove would increase the museum's power and reach.

"By raising awareness of the Museum online we benefit from visitors sharing personal stories," she said

"That helps us to further interpret, document and understand our collections."

Town of Claremont Museum curator Fiona Crossan is also excited about the opportunity to use Trove.

"Having on-line accessibility allows us to share the stories of our collection to a wider audience in new and unique ways," she said.
