This would be devastating for historians and other researchers, both in Australia and overseas, with digital sources being so important in the last few years. Trove is a valuable resource that needs to be funded properly. #FundTrove #SaveTrove #auspol

@evansmithhist Yikes, Trove online archive runs out of money in 6 months and could disappear. Trove is not just an Australia thing. It's an amazing source used by many international scholars like me. It's an invaluable digital archive, that enriches research and puts Australia at the forefront of Digital Humanities. Shutting down Trove in six months would be a devastating loss. #histodons #digitalhumaniites #fundtrove #savetrove #archives #HistoriansOnMastodon
