Event Description:

The RAHS invites you to Collections and Community: Trove and NSW Historical Societies, presented in partnership with the National Library of Australia.

This special one-day event explores how community history organisations can use Trove’s tools, resources and partnerships to connect collections and strengthen the local history network.

Session A: Connecting Collections: Using Trove to promote local and community history

This session will introduce the Trove Content Contributor Package and explore how local and community organisations can participate in the Trove network. Presenters will outline practical ways to share catalogued collections through Trove, highlight funding opportunities, and provide guidance on the latest Trove tools and resources.

Session B: Connecting Community: Supporting and Sustaining Historical Societies

In this session we will celebrate the achievements of volunteers and provide a practical forum for discussing how historical societies can collaborate, adopt new tools, and sustain their work for future generations. Together, we’ll share knowledge, recognise contributions, and look at ways to keep NSW community history strong and connected.

Ticket costs include catering costs for in-person participants.
