Works about this Work

Slow the Digitisation : I Want to Take a Break Clay Djubal , 2014 single work criticism
— Appears in: Island , no. 138 2014; (p. 48-49) 'The launch of Trove by the National Library of Australia in 2008 has revolutionised the way researchers of Australian history and culture go about their work. Since the first digitised newspapers became public in 2009 the NLA and its numerous partners have published more than thirteen million pages from newspapers around the country. The speed at which this digitisation process is occurring is mind-boggling, if not a little worrisome, particularly for professional historians and academics. Why? Well let’s look at the benefits first. An accidental discovery made while I was investigating locally produced pantomimes for AustLit’s Australian Popular Theatre project exemplifies the immense value of Trove. During my search I noticed references to a performance by the Ethiopian Serenaders in Hobart in July 1848. The earliest date for a minstrel performance had been previously acknowledged as occurring in Melbourne in August 1849 (by the ‘Four Ethiopian Serenaders’). The source for this new information comes from the Colonial Times (1828-1857), a newspaper that was available only through a handful of Australian libraries prior to its digitisation.'

Untitled Andrew Bent , 1828 single work correspondence
— Appears in: The Monitor , 7 February vol. 3 no. 120 1828; (p. 957) The Monitor reproduces Andrew Bent's letter to Governor Arthur Phillip requesting a license to publish a newspaper. Bent had previously sold his copyright to the Colonial Times to James Austin, but Austin had been refused a license.

Bent's request was likewise refused - the Monitor also re-produces the response to Bent's letter in which the Colonial Secretary's office conveys the Governor's decision 'to refuse you a License to print or publish any Newspaper in this Colony'.
