Hi Mick,

There are tons of mistakes like that :)  I am sure most people recognise what the headline should be. Papers past is an exellent resource, not worth worrying about the small stuff :)

My understanding is that they will be adding public editing in the near future.

I have found them really approachable so why not drop them an email.

They will???  That's very awesome and welcome news!  I spend a lot of time on Trove, the National Library of Australia newspapers site, and it's very nice to be able to do the corrections and feel I might be helping a future researcher.

My favourite OCR error so far - on a relatives death notice 'In God we trout.'
