G’day. just a quick note to say thank you for all those TROVE corrections you have painfully transcribed. I am on the home stretch of a very large e-book on Australian mining songs and your contribution in that area definitely made my job easier. I have found so much terrific material – including the original of a Frank Gardiner ballad. Great site you have going here… eclectic when it goes from old bush songs to J O’K.
No worries. Glad the Trove work has been of help.
Sounds like we have a shared interest in old Australian songs.
Hoping to get a lot of Australian poems and songs transcribed and on to the site here; such a lot of work to to, but it will be worth it in the end.
Good luck with the e-book of mining songs; hope it goes well. Looking forward to seeing it!
I was born in Australia and I am working on a project about cultures in Australia and stumbled across this great site. Good work thank you, despite me not being much of a reader of anything.
Was wondering which other websites I could go to learn more info on more modern Australians and its culture of the 20th century.
I will eventually contact libraries etc for information, so if you know of any librarians or historians that love sharing their Australian knowledge, please let me know.
