[Wikimediaau-l] Fwd: Toodyay Herald coming soon on Trove newspapers database
for those interested in working on WA articles more newspapers coming on line via Trove Hi, THS Committee and email members and frriends Thought you might like to know that articles from the weekly *Toodyay Herald* (years 1912-1954) will appear on Trove soon. Faded out links are starting to appear in searches but we can't open them up until they lose their Coming Sooness. Ditto the first Avon regional newspaper the *Eastern Districts Chronicle* (York, 1877-1927), but no *Northam Advertiser* yet.

If you are looking for a complete list on newspapers on Trove, it's here: https://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/titles The list of newspapers which are next to appear are listed here: www.nla.gov.au/content/new-titles-coming For anyone unfamiliar with this program, it is about digitising all the Australian newspapers which are out-of-copyright (meaning before 1955) and all of those in copyright where the copyright holder gives consent (the Canberra Times and the Australians Womens Weekly being two that deserve special mention for their co-operation to digitise post-1955). This is IMHO the best open knowledge project we have in this country. It is available online, free, and draws on the Power of the Crowd to do OCR correction, tagging, etc to increase searchability so we can all contribute to making it better. They also provide a Wikipedia-formatted citation for every newspaper article, which makes life easy for the Wikipedia editor (yeah!).

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Farewell and buongiorno!
I wish you good luck in Italy, It was great meeting you at GLAM-WIKI back in 2009, your expertise will be missed in the Australian Wiki community.

She received a post-doctoral fellowship from the National Research Institute there. I resigned from the National Library of Australia last week, and will be taking up the role of part-time GLAMWIKI coordinator for Europeana - with particular focus on supporting the development, integration and usage of the GLAMWIKIToolset. So farewell WM-Au and good luck. I'll still be around the Wikiverse, of course, but no longer from Australia. And hello Europe and WM-IT in particular! You'll be hearing from me again soon - and I'll see many of you at Wikimania London.
