PROV Reading Room Visitors

Brief description

Each year, up to 15,000 visitors attend the PROV reading room(s) to view original Victorian State Government historical records held within our collection.



As 99% of our collection is in original hard copy format, a researcher must either order a record and request a remote photocopy or digital copy order or attend the reading room to view and make their own copies of the original record.



PROV does not provide a research service for researchers who are unable to attend the reading room. A researcher must either engage a search agent or ask a friend or family member to attend on their behalf to view the original record.
