Our collection includes records of immigration and shipping, criminal trials and prisons, premiers and governors, royal commissions, boards of inquiry, wills and probates, and more. These records tell stories of key events and decisions shaping the history of Victoria.

This is an external-facing role working with a diverse range of clients. Reporting to the Manager of Digital Transfer, the role collaborates closely with the VERS Senior Technical Specialist and the Technology Services team.
