What We Collect
The Royal Historical Society of Victoria Inc (RHSV) is dedicated to collecting, preserving, exhibiting and interpreting Victoria’s history. The RHSV will collect research material relating to Victoria from European settlement to the present day with a particular emphasis on Melbourne.
The RHSV recognises that it is a custodian of the material entrusted to it for preservation for future generations. It is therefore committed to ensuring that the collection is properly catalogued and stored in such a way as to be accessible to the members and the public, under supervision, and available for loan to other institutions when deemed appropriate.
Donating Items
We accept donations that adhere to our collection aims, which will be assessed for suitability for the collection . Generally we are interestestewd in collecting research material (books, documents, images, periodicals, newspapers etc.) that are concered with Australian History. We are not interested in collecting objects. For more detail about our collecting practices see Key Collection Themes and Items Collected sections.
