TroveMosaic is an experimental interface for the Trove picture search. Enter a query, and it will build a mosaic from the top 500 records. Group the results by title, collection or decade for different views, and click an image to see it in its home collection.

This project is the work of Mitchell Whitelaw, part of an ongoing project creating generous interfaces for digital cultural collections. Along with the Manly Images interface, TroveMosaic was funded by the State Library of New South Wales.

TroveMosaic requires a modern, standards-compliant browser like Chrome, Safari or Firefox. It is designed for desktop browsers and probably won't work perfectly on mobile or tablet devices (yet).

Trove picture search contains over 7.3 million images on almost every conceivable subject. Hundreds of organisations contribute material including the University of Queensland Library, Queensland Department of Public Works, Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, Geoscience Australia, Royal Geographical Society of South Australia, Australian Academy of Science, Australian Institute of Marine Science, Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, CSIRO, and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation.
