Keeping the Record Public
A symposium on the history of State Archives in Victoria
Following is a list of papers given on 31 July 2003 as part of a symposium
organised to celebrate the centenary of the first transfer in Victoria
of government records into archival custody.
Victoria's state archives began with a transfer of ten
volumes of Convict Indent records from the Law Department of the Victorian
government to the Public Library of Victoria on 31 July 1903.
The symposium explored the significance of this event and
told the story of the development of a public archival authority in Victoria.
The proceedings include formal papers from representatives of the organisations
that were pivotal in the establishment of PROV, as well as more informal
reflections from those who have themselves been champions of the cause
of public records in Victoria.
