Public Record Office Victoria

Public Record Office Victoria (PROV) is the official archive for Victoria’s government records. It preserves and provides access to documents like historical records, government papers, and public records that record the state’s history, administration, and activities. PROV ensures these records are stored securely, well-maintained, and accessible to the public, researchers, and government agencies, supporting transparency, accountability, and historical research. It also offers guidance on records management and helps individuals access their personal government records, such as birth or death certificates.
