    1. [HV] NLA site and timeframes for their newspaper digitisation project
    2. Perplexed
    3. Hi Brent and any others with an interest in what's happening with the NLA digitisation project - I've copied below part of an announcement I received I think around June this year. The link in the announcement gives you more details about the newspapers and their timeframes for digitisation. You can subscribe to the mailing list from which I received the announcement on this page (scroll about 3/4s of the way down the page to "Announcements List): http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/about "Dear Australian Newspapers beta users We wish to update you on latest developments with the service: 1. New content being added to beta We are happy to announce that we have re-commenced OCR production. During May 51,000 pages were processed, accepted and uploaded to beta. We anticipate that over the next 2-3 weeks 78,000 pages of the South Australian Advertiser (1901-1919) will be made available in beta. After this we will finish and make available the remainder of the Argus up to 1945 (1857-1915, 1933 -1945). The following titles will then be processed: http://www.nla.gov.au/ndp/selected_newspapers/Future_Titles.html" Hope this is useful. Anne
