Important Victorian Archives Centre Reading Room changes to note:
We have been reviewing our reading room service delivery model based on user demand. From 1 January 2020, the Victorian Archives Centre will be moving to one delivery of records to the reading room each day.
What does this mean for researchers?
- Orders must be in by 8am in order for you to view those records at 10.30am in the reading room (there will no longer be an afternoon delivery of records).
- There will be no delivery on Saturdays, so users wishing to view records on a Saturday will need to pre order their records by 8am Friday.
Note, you will still be able to order 8 records per day and view upto 24 in one day provided that the final 8 records are ordered by 8am the day they are required in the Reading Room (ie. you can order 8 records multiple days in a row and then come into the Reading Room and view them on the one day), and Reading Room open days and hours will remain the same: Monday to Friday and the second and last Saturday of every month, 10am to 4.30pm.
