1. STOP PRESS: Increase in Record Deliveries to Reading Rooms
Following the Labour Day Public Holiday, from Tuesday 14 March, you will
notice an improvement in record deliveries in the VAC Reading Room. An
extra record delivery will now take place at 9:30 am every weekday, meaning
you can place orders before 4.00 pm which will be available just 30 minutes
after the Reading Room opens. It also means that orders of 20 records
will be completed one delivery sooner, and you'll have the potential to
view up to 30% more records in a week!
The existing limits of 20 records per researcher, 4 records per delivery
and deliveries on weekdays only, still apply.
A summary of the delivery times is below:
Orders after 4.00 pm but before 9:30 am are delivered at 11.00

2. 1956 Melbourne Olympics Images - Now Available to View Online
PROV holds the negatives of approximately 2500 official photographs taken
during the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. A selection of these images are featured
in the Online Exhibition Image Galleries section of the PROV website.
Now, in addition to the images highlighted in the online gallery, PROV
has developed an extensive online database which allows you to search
through the entire collection of images using keywords to find a specific
event, sport, venue or athlete. The images are also accompanied by captions
from the original photographers' notes.
To access the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Photographs database, visit http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/olympics/
and click on 'search
the full collection'.
3. Exhibitions
• People and Parliament: Landmark Decisions 1855-2006
People and Parliament: Landmark Decisions 1855–2006 is the current
free exhibition on display at the VAC.
People and Parliament was developed to coincide with the 150th anniversary
of the establishment of the Parliament of Victoria and the introduction
of ‘responsible government’ in the fledgling colony. The exhibition
explores landmark decisions made by various Victorian governments over
the past century and a half through original government records and historic
items from PROV's holdings and various other government agencies.
People and Parliament: Landmark Decisions 1855-2006 is on display until
31 May 2006; admission is free. A glossy full-colour catalogue of the
exhibition is available for purchase for $5.00.
Free educational resources for primary and secondary students, together
with transcriptions of many of the records featured in the exhibition,
can be accessed online at http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/peopleparliament
• Touring Exhibitions
PROV has a number of touring exhibitions and displays which are loaned
out free of charge to cultural, historical and educational institutions,
libraries and various other organisations throughout Victoria.
These exhibitions are of varying themes, but are all based on the stories,
people and topics gleaned from records held in PROV's custody. To view
the PROV calendar for touring exhibitions, visit: http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/online/default.asp#touring
• Online exhibitions and resources
Most of these exhibitions have a corresponding online component which
illustrates the content and themes of the exhibitions. These can be viewed

4. What's New
• New additions to the online index to outward passengers
The latest installment (1857-61) of the Index to Outwards Passenger lists
on the PROV website, which shows that 282,000 people departed Victoria
during the first ten years of recorded passenger lists, was launched in
December 2006.
At the well-received volunteers' end of year BBQ, Keir Reeves spoke of
colonial transmigration and life on the goldfields. Justine Heazlewood
thanked approximately 50 volunteers gathered presenting Christmas gifts
and certificates of recognition
• January 2006: annual opening of closed Section 9 records
At the turn of every new year, PROV completes a process of reviewing and,
when appropriate, opening units subject to closure under section 9 of
the Public Records Act.
Below is a list of all units that have been opened. The date range [in
square brackets] is that for the units opened and the VA cited is that
for the agency which created the units at that time. All of the consignments
are subject to a closure period of 75 years unless otherwise noted. Relevant
microform reference copies that have been opened have been distributed
to the Reading Rooms.
Only one series has been partially opened (VPRS 8247) for the first time

opened but these are not included in the above list as these consignments
were closed under Section 10.
* These openings mark the first time that the portion of the Teacher
Record Books in PROV custody have been opened to public inspection since
their transfer. It should be noted that both the hard copy (VPRS 13579/P1)
and the microfilm copy consignments (VPRS 13718/P3 for the copy at the
BAC RR and VPRS 13718/P4 for the copy at the VAC RR) are subject to section
9 closures. Owing to the format of the records, the microfilm copy could
only be opened to teacher record number 48999 whilst the hard copy could
be opened to teacher record number 49499. Consequently anyone wishing
to access teacher history numbers 49000 - 49499 inclusive can only access
the hard copy register in VPRS 13579/P1. This detail has also been incorporated
into the "How To Use The Records" entry of the relevant series
registrations on the website.
• New Series Available on the PROV Online Catalogue.
Victorian Public Record Series (VPRS) are occasionally reprocessed as
research by PROV archivists uncovers more about the records and their
context. The lists appearing below may include some reprocessed series,
as well as new accessions and transfers of additional consignments to
existing series. The lists may also include records that are closed (in
part or whole) to general public access in PROV reading rooms. If a record
has been closed under section 9 or section 10 of the Public Records Act,
you may need to apply for access under Freedom of Information. To do this,
you will need to know which government department is responsible for the
particular records and staff in our reading rooms can provide assistance
with this.
In some instances you can also apply for Special Access to some closed
records by writing to the Keeper of Public Records for permission. PROVguide
14 has information on how to go about this.

5. Seminars 2006
• Seminar Series February - June 2006
The Seminar Series for 2006 has begun with a range of weekday and weekend
sessions covering records relating to such topics as schools, parish plans,
mining and immigration.
Our next seminar, to be held at Victorian Archives Centre on Tuesday
7 March, is Back to School: Records of Students, Teachers and Schools
at PROV. Archivist Jack Martin draws on his own experience with education
as a student and teacher, and form working directly with some of the records,
to present this informative introduction. Note that the seminar commences
at 10:30am and runs for two hours to 12:30 pm (a part of our Seminars
Brochure advertised a starting time of 10:00 am by mistake).
To see the complete program of seminars on offer until June 2006, pick
up a brochure from the VAC or BAC or download it from the PROV website.
For further information on our Seminar Series, phone (03) 9348 5600.

6. Funding and Development Opportunities: Museums Australia (Victoria)
• Regional Exhibition Touring Initiative (RETI)
The Regional Exhibition Touring Initiative (RETI) is an innovative program
developed by Museums Australia (Victoria) to support and improve museum
sector touring activity in Victoria. RETI has been assisting museums to
develop touring exhibitions for regional Victoria since 1999. The program
is administered by Museums Australia (Victoria) with funds received from
the Community Support Fund through Arts Victoria.
Now in its seventh year RETI has supported fifty-eight regional Victorian
museums and has devolved a total of $220 000 towards the development of
touring exhibitions.
• The RETI Fund
Museums Australia (Victoria) invites collecting organisations to apply
for support under the Regional Exhibition Touring Initiative grants program
for the development and touring of historical or cultural heritage exhibitions
including art, science, social and natural history, to metropolitan and
regional Victoria.
