Introduction
Public Record Office Victoria is the archives of the State Government
of Victoria. We hold records from the European settlement of Port Phillip
district in the mid-1830s to today.
PROV manages these records for use by both the government and people of
Victoria. As the archival authority for the State of Victoria, PROV undertakes
a number of interrelated activities:
Records - caring for and providing access to a vast and valuable
collection of Victorian government records that date back to the establishment
of permanent government services. Most forms of access to our collection
are free, and include our Reading Rooms, publications, and physical and
online exhibitions.
Standards - helping people in the Victorian government create and
keep better records through the development of recordkeeping standards.
Training and Advice - promoting recordkeeping standards and assisting
government agencies to achieve compliance with them.
Through these activities, and by ensuring all Victorian people have ready
access, understanding and appreciation of the State's records, PROV accomplishes
its mission in assisting Victorians to have an open and accountable state
government.
