The New Australia newspaper was produced in the 1890's and chronicles the attempt to set up a colony of Australian workers in Paraguay at the time. TIF images of the newspaper have been created in collaboration with the State Library of New South Wales and the project continues to develop with the involvement of Paul Scifleet from the State Library who has developed an sgml-encoded finding aid to the collection.
