Abstract

A large and historic collection of records of the Victorian government's administration of Aboriginal people is held by the Australian Archives at its Victorian Branch. These records were transferred to Commonwealth control at the time of the transfer of the functions of the Victorian Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs to the Commonwealth in 1975. They cover over a century of government administration, from 1860 to 1968, and consequently provide a continuous history of the life of Victorian Aborigines over that period. This article provides information about them.
