This is pretty amazing and you have to have a look at it to find your way around.If you can see the screen shot above- on the left is the text from an article (from the Brisbane Courier, pg 2, Thursday 9th June 1864) which can be edited by subscribers and on the right is the article itself highlighted and how it appeared in the paper itself.
Did I say it's amazing?! And you can save want you want as a PDF file or print them.
This will make it easier for people to do large chunks of their family history from home.
Will this put clunky old microfilm readers/printers out of service for good? Probably not.
I have to suss out if something like this is available for New Zealand.

Thanks for blogging about this. I searched for Mitchell Library. It was amazing what I found, and even though there were some probs with the electronic translation I could read the PDFs! I'm sure there are lots of people who'd be keen to edit the translations out there.
