Notes
Adding a note to an item can be a helpful contribution when the information is not already included in the item's record. A note can contain any additional information relevant to an item, such as related events, related items in Trove, or even a book review.
You can create a note for all content on Trove, except for the Australian Web Archive.
After you create a note, it will appear in the Notes section of your Trove profile.
