This document discusses how the National Library of Australia's Trove database of over 150 million newspaper articles provides value through the scale and variety of uses. It is used by over 230,000 users for everything from individual family history research to community collaborations that have added over 3 million records. Examples are given of how individuals have used newspaper articles to research local history topics or find inspiration for knitting and crocheting patterns, demonstrating the diverse ways the large-scale collection creates value both broadly and narrowly.
