Late Friday (26 June), the Minister for Communication and the Arts, Hon Paul Fletcher issued his second funding announcement for the week, one that perhaps got lost in the commentary around the Federal Governmentâs earlier news of a $250 arts and entertainment relief package.
On behalf of the Morrison government, Fletcher announced an $8 million boost to the National Library of Australia (NLA) over the next two years to support the ongoing development of Australiaâs digital heritage portal, Trove.
