That is funny…..I have enjoyed reading some of the old court and crime cases in our Papers Past, which is similar to your Trove, I think. And, as you say, the same things keep coming up 🙂
They sure do Gallivanta… I first realised this back in the 1970’s when searching old newspapers, on Microfiche at our South Oz State library. I was searching for the photo of my mum being shielded, by her mum, from the batons of the “Special constables” during the Waterside Worker’s strike/ march during the Great Depression here in Port Adelaide, 1928.
I was indeed mesmerised by how similar the “issues of the day” were 😯 Now I’m going to consult “Madam Google” re: your “Papers Past”. Thanks!!!
Oh, I should have given you a direct link to Papers Past. I have found several very interesting reports on my ancestors in these old digitalized papers because the old papers loved to report on small, everyday events and meetings.
Indeed… and it’s all these little everyday events which are such incredible treasures, I reckon.
