A Guide to Commonwealth Government Records
About this guide The Melbourne office of the National Archives of Australia holds a wealth of material that will interest both professional and family historians. The collection is especially rich because the original seat of the Commonwealth Parliament was located in Melbourne. Among the unique treasures are records on the administration of Aboriginal affairs in Victoria from 1860; drawings of the Port Phillip defences, 1880-1912; files on internees and prisoners of war held in Australia during World War II; and the Australian Women's Army Service records. This guide is an essential reference for anyone wanting to access Commonwealth Government archival records held in Melbourne.
About the author Celia Blake is an Honours graduate (in History) of the University of Melbourne and is an Assistant Director in the Collection Management Section of the National Archives of Australia.
