9. About this Publication

1. PROV Collection on PictureAustralia
PROV has joined PictureAustralia, the National Library of Australia's picture sharing service. The website http://www.pictureaustralia.org provides a single website to search the image collections of many major Australian cultural institutions, directing site visitors back to the website of each institution to view the images they search for.

PROV's online contributions include three pictures of Ned Kelly, approximately 7000 Public Transport Corporation (PTC) images and 2750 images from the Melbourne 1956 Olympics. Another 11000 PTC images will be published to the PictureAustralia website shortly.

2. Exhibitions
*People and Parliament: Landmark Decisions 1855-2006
You have only a few weeks left to see People and Parliament: Landmark Decisions 1855-2006, the current free exhibition on display at the VAC.

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, People and Parliament explores landmark decisions made by various Victorian governments over the past century and a half.

Featuring original government records and historic items from PROV's holdings and various other government agencies, People and Parliament: Landmark Decisions 1855–2006 closes on 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

*Town of North Melbourne
Following on from People and Parliament in the exhibition space at the VAC will be PROV's next exhibition, Town of North Melbourne. This exhibition, focusing on the late nineteenth century to the early 1900s, takes a snap shot of the lives and stories of ordinary people living and working around North Melbourne. The exhibition is essential viewing for anyone interested in local history research.

Town of North Melbourne is free of charge to visit. It will be available to view from 12 June to 27 2006 at the VAC.

*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.

While these exhibitions are of varying themes, they all are 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 Update-'Bigamy, Theft and Murder: The Extraordinary Tale of Fredrick Bailey Deeming'
Bigamy, Theft and Murder: The Extraordinary Tale of Frederick Bailey Deeming is not only one of PROV’s most popular online exhibitions, it is also one of its most enduring. The time has come to refresh the look and layout of the online exhibition, while retaining the essential elements of the tale that has made it such a favourite.

Anyone interested in suggesting changes or possibilities for including new material from archives or other collections, particularly any photographs or illustrations that may illuminate the Deeming story, should contact Sebastian Gurciullo via email at sebastian.gurciullo@dvc.vic.gov.au or by phone on (03) 9348 5626.
