We are redesigning our catalogue. To take a sneak peek click on the slider to the right, search and order your records and send us some feedback. You can also order records as normal via this site below. You may need to perform a search again if switching between old and Beta versions of the site.

We’ve made some tweaks to our search results page to make it easier to understand the collection! Watch our short tutorial video for an overview:
Try our new date slider. By typing in the dates or using the sliding bar, you can now search for a precise date range.
Our results now include field titles, so you can easily identify the date of the record, the name of the original record series that it comes from, the government agency that created it and even the citation for future reference.
Family researchers will be happy to hear that our Wills and Probate records will now appear together in the search results, making it easier to find both essential records for family history research.
Look forward to less scrolling with our updated left hand menu! After date range, our most used option for narrowing choices is ‘physical or digital’ so it made sense to move this up. We’ve also added a ‘created by’ option so you can search by the government agency which created the record.
Try out these new search features and let us know your thoughts! Contact us at feedback@prov.vic.gov.au
