A free trial to contribute to Trove

Join over 900 Partner Institutions from around Australia

Trove brings together amazing collections from Australian libraries, universities, museums, galleries, and archives. It’s free and available online all day, every day. It is a collaboration between the National Library of Australia and hundreds of Partner organisations around Australia.

Thanks to Commonwealth government funding, Trove Collaborative Services is offering a free trial to Australian galleries, archives, museums, and historical societies that would like to reach this vast audience and benefit from seeing their collection in a national context.

Visit Trove

33 collections on eHive contribute their data to Trove

Setting up your eHive account to contribute to Trove is an easy process. Contact us at eHive and we can outline the steps.

The Trove community shares a common goal – to build a rich and diverse digital cultural collection for all Australians.  

Trove is visited by users over 50,000 times a day. Over 900 Partner Institutions from around Australia contribute their collections to Trove, making it the best place for cultural organisations to share their stories, connect with their audiences and grow together.

If eHive members sign up for a trial with Trove before 1 June 2022, they will not have to pay the joining fees.

You can discontinue with your Trove service partnership at any point.

To make the most of the trial they suggest organisations join early. Organisations that sign up for the trial will be able to experience many benefits, including automated ‘direct to Trove’ data loading and insights into how your collection is being used. 

The big question is, do you want to reach this vast audience and benefit from seeing your collection in a national context. 

By enabling Trove to capture data and information about the items you hold, you can reach new audiences and contribute to the Australian digital cultural heritage collection.

Here is a link to sign up and find out more about this offer to join Trove without sign up fees.

Promote your collection through Trove.

Testimonials

New England Regional Art Museum

I’ve worked with the Team at eHive to deliver three online collection projects – across archives, library and art museum collections, both in New Zealand and Australia. The technical support is exemplary and the eHive Team have offered guidance and advice that makes solving any problems easy and maximising project potential possible. I’ve used eHive as both a host website for online collections, and for a fully integrated museum website search experience that has helped diversify our audiences and allow people to respond to collections in a tangible way.

Tanya Robinson - New Zealand & Australia

Mataura Museum

Thanks to eHive we are now a museum without walls. After putting our collection online, web visitors exceed physical visitors by a factor of ten, all without having to set up and maintain our own website. This wider reach has brought a raft of new connections to our small community museum.

David Luoni - New Zealand

Tweed Regional Museum

eHive has allowed the Tweed Regional Museum to easily publish our collection online, making it more accessible than ever before, revolutionising how we work and how far our collection can go. The back end of the system is incredibly easy to use, making it simple for staff with non technical backgrounds to publish the collection online. The team at Vernon have an excellent customer service ethos and help is never far away. We can’t recommend eHive to other small or medium museums enough.

Ashley Parker

Personally I consider eHive to be an absolute triumph. It is easy to use, logical, comprehensive, economic, safe (as in backed up), it has an open data/migration path to get data out and the support is superb. I will absolutely encourage other institutions I come across to change over to it. I did a pretty thorough analysis of the competition out there before selecting eHive and it seemed the best approach of all the choices.
