> Trove [1] is more than just a discovery portal, it’s also a source of
> machine-readable data drawn from cultural heritage organisations
> around Australia, including the National Library of Australia and all
> State and Territory libraries. Through Trove’s API [2] you can access
> millions of records [3] to build your own tools, applications or
> visualisations.
> 
> With GovHack 2013 [4] approaching, we’re inviting developers to take
> our API and see what they can create.  What could you do with 90
> million newspaper articles, 7 million photos or objects, or the
> details of more than 17 million books?
> 
> For additional inspiration NSLA (National and State Libraries
> Australasia) are offering a prize to GovHack entries that make use of
> data from Trove. [5]
> 
> Here’s a few possibilities to get you thinking:
> 
> * How might you use or visualise resources relating to World War I or
> the 1967 Referendum?
> 
> *  Are there new ways of exposing state based material in Trove that
> isn’t held by the relevant state library?
> 
> *  Could you enrich individual library catalogues by displaying a
> short list of relevant Trove resources?
> 
> * Where next for the idea of ‘generous interfaces’ as demonstrated by
> Mitchell Whitelaw’s Trove Mosaic [6] and Manly Images [7] projects?
> 
> * Could you use photographs of places to automatically populate social
> media tools? What about creating a map-based view of Trove resources?
> 
> * What about combining spatial and temporal data to create a visual
> timeline of newspaper publication?
> 
> To get started you need to sign up for an API key [2] and have a look
> through the API documentation. [8] We’ll also be posting extra hints
> and tips in the API section of the Trove Forum. [9]
> 
> To help you find your way through the riches of Trove, staff from the
> National Library of Australia will be available as data mentors at
> GovHack 2013 in Canberra. We’re looking forward to seeing what you
> make!
> 
> Cheers, Tim
