University of Melbourne Archives
The University of Melbourne Archives collects, manages and provides access to the historical records of the University, Victorian business, trade unions and other labour organisations, community and cultural organisations, as well as the personal papers of many individuals prominent within them.
Records date from the first years of the colony of Victoria until the present day and cover a very wide field of endeavour. The Archives were established in 1960 and to date hold some 15 kilometres of records. They are available for research use and may be used in the Cultural Collections Reading Room (floor plan) on the 3rd floor of the Baillieu Library.
Material Requests
Material needs to be ordered at least 24 hours in advance of proposed use. From Monday 5th January 2009 Archives will be open Monday to Friday and the first Saturday of each month from February onwards.
To place a request for material or to discuss your research needs, please contact archives@ archives.unimelb.edu.au or (03) 8344 9893/8344 6848.
