Australian Web Archive

The Australian Web Archive (AWA) is an publicly available online database of archived Australian websites, hosted by the National Library of Australia (NLA) on its Trove platform, an online library database aggregator. It comprises the NLA's own PANDORA archive, the Australian Government Web Archive (AGWA) and the National Library of Australia's ".au" domain collections. Access is through a single interface in Trove, which is publicly available.[1][2][3] The Australian Web Archive was created in March 2019,[4] and is one of the biggest web archives in the world.[5] Its purpose is to provide a resource for historians and researchers, now and into the future.[5]
