- **Event Description**: For Open House Melbourne 2026 we're opening the airlocked doors to the heart of the Victorian Archives Centre, the archival repository. The knowledgeable staff from Public Record Office Victoria and the National Archives of Australia will take you on a guided tour through our carefully maintained, dust-free, climate-controlled environments. These spaces house over 100 kilometres of significant records dating back to 1836. Here you'll learn how records are selected and preserved, and take a peek inside the drawers, boxes and cabinets. Historic records from both collections will be on display, bringing to light the narratives contained within the many maps, plans, images and documents. From love letters used in a criminal trial to snap shots taken by government photographers, delve into the people and places captured in the archives, including the stories of those marginalised by history’s selective memory.
