Add Trove: Pictures, Photos, Objects to Discovery
The 'Pictures' zone of the National Library of Australia's Trove service serves descriptions and (where possible) thumbnail images of pictures and objects held in Australian libraries and museums, as well as curated images of Australian history and life from Flickr. This would be incredibly valuable to Australian Ex Libris subscribers as well as anyone studying Australian history and culture, and would complement the New Zealand image collection that is currently indexed.

Trove staff seem to be happy to work with other institutions to expose Australian material to a wider audience. Trove metadata is set up to be able to be harvested by indexes, e.g. Google.

This would be very helpful for Australian libraries.
