5 May 2009
As part of a program of building works being conducted by Public Record Office Victoria (PROV) to improve its facilities there will be some disruption to all PROV services from 1 June 2009.

As a result of the building works the Victorian Archives Centre in North Melbourne, including the Reading Room, will be closed on Mondays and Saturdays from 1 June 2009 to February 2010. During this time please be aware that you may experience late deliveries of records to the North Melbourne reading room.

To bring PROV services into alignment during this time the Ballarat Archives Centre (BAC) will also be closed on Mondays from 1 June 2009 to February 2010. BAC, including the Reading Room, will now be opened on Tuesdays AND Wednesdays (in lieu of Mondays) during this time.

This necessary work will ensure that the archival collections of both PROV and the National Archives of Australia stored in the Victorian Archives Centre continue to be preserved in state-of-the-art facilities.

On Tuesdays to Fridays PROV will conduct business as usual, including the reading rooms. For Reading Room opening times please refer to the Contact Us page.

Victorian Government Agencies please note:
No records will be issued to couriers on Mondays between 1 June 2009 and February 2010.

We apologise for any inconvenience experienced during these closures. If you have any concerns regarding PROV building works please refer to the PROV website or email buildingworks@prov.vic.gov.au.
