To Be Continued: The Australian Newspaper Fiction Database

Abstract

In the 19th and 20th centuries, Australian newspapers contained a huge array of content. In fact, newspapers and periodicals were the main source of fiction for Australian readers for much of that time.

Until recently, thousands of works of fiction were locked away in archives and little was known about the stories published in Australia�s newspapers. Now for the first time, we can explore this fiction through To Be Continued: The Australian Newspaper Fiction Database, an interactive database of more than 40,000 works of fiction sourced from the National Library of Australia�s Trove collection of digitised newspapers.
