QueryPic is a graphical search summarizer that mines content in the Trove newspaper archive from the National Library of Australia. The program is part of Tim Sherratt’s larger TroveNewspaper software project, which allows researchers to obtain parsable data from the Trove collection. QueryPic searches the Trove newspaper archive, scrapes the returns, and graphs the results of the search. QueryPic uses the Python programming language, and is available on GitHub under a GPL v3 license.
