Acervos documentais
The Library's manuscripts collection has a particular emphasis on Victoria and its inhabitants, and seeks to gather papers and records that reflect the full range of human diversity and undertakings.
With a wide collecting brief, the manuscripts collection is particularly strong in a number of areas:
records of the discovery, exploration and settlement of Victoria by Europeans, including the Port Phillip papers relating to the first contact between Europeans and Aboriginal people
the diaries and letters of immigrants to Victoria, especially shipboard diaries
life on the Victorian goldfields
company records, including the very extensive Coles Myer retail collection
records of the labour movement and the papers of notable political figures in Victoria
manuscript papers from individuals and organisations active in the fields of literature, the fine arts and the theatre
collections relating to Aboriginal people in Victoria
diaries, letters and photographs from World War I and World War II
Material from the Australian Manuscripts collection is viewed in the Heritage Collections Reading Room or, for certain manuscript collections, in the Australian Manuscripts room. Heritage Collections Reading Room: open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday to Sunday 10am-6pm, Wednesday 10am-9pm. For other reading rooms and public holiday opening, see https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/plan-your-visit/opening-hours-getting-here
