   About the Archival Support Program

   This program is a joint initiative of Public Record Office Victoria and
   the Australian Society of Archivists Inc., supported by National
   Archives of Australia. It offers advice and instruction to the many
   local custodians of collections of historical documents.

   These sessions are aimed at historical societies, small archives and
   museums, but will also be of interest to individuals preserving private
   collections for the future. The Archival Support Program has been
   running for ten years and sessions have been attended by hundreds of
   people from across Victoria and represent great learning and networking
   opportunities.
