Public Record Office Victoria is the archives of the State Government of Victoria. We hold records from the beginnings of the colonial administration of Victoria in the mid-1830s to today.

Good records help to ensure the accountability of the Victorian Government as well as being a resource in trust for future generations of Victorians.
