Trove is very excited to announce that three of the earliest known Chinese-Australian newspapers are now in Trove. They are The Chinese Australian Herald, 1894-1923 (Guang yi hua bao), Chinese Times, 1902-1922 (Meilibin bu ai guo bao) and The Chinese Advertiser (1856) which was later to become one of the first Australian bilingual newspapers, The English and Chinese Advertiser (1856-8).
Trove invited historian Kate Bagnall, who specialises in Chinese-Australian history, to tell us about them in a guest blog post.
There are over 21,000 pages representing a rich resource for people interested in the history of Chinese migration to Australia.
