Public Record Office Victoria is committed to ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities and special needs.  

 

Parking

We have a free all-day carpark, entry off Macaulay Road, which includes 2 disabled parking bays. There's also disabled street parking out the front of our building on Shiel Street - please note street signage for times. 

 

Wheelchair access

We have wheelchair access, lifts and disabled toilets.

 

Archive tours

Tours of the Victorian Archives Centre last one hour and a minimum level of fitness is required to walk and stand for the full hour. The tour is wheelchair accessible, but please note we do not have courtesy wheelchairs or walkers available at the Victorian Archives Centre so anyone requiring a wheelchair or walker will need to bring their own. 

 

Online access

Our website was designed to meet accessibility standards. However, some of our catalogue pages and digitised records may be more difficult for some screen readers to interpret. If you have any trouble accessing information from our website or have a suggestion to improve access, please contact us. 

Vision Australia can also provide information to users on text (screen) readers and assistive technologies.
 

Material in the Public Record Office Victoria archival collection contains words and descriptions that reflect attitudes and government policies at different times which may be insensitive and upsetting

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples should be aware the collection and website may contain images, voices and names of deceased persons.

PROV provides advice to researchers wishing to access, publish or re-use records about Aboriginal Peoples
